Educational Functions of Augmented Reality

systems in education. It analyses the specifi c characteristics of augmented reality and, in the context
of these parameters, it formulates didactic specifi cs of augmented reality given by the complex
of didactically relevant parameters of the didactic means that distinguish it from other devices in
terms of supporting the accomplishment of educational intentions. Th e paper also defi nes educational
intentions of using augmented reality for increasing the informational value, exposition of
temporally and spatially disparate processes and phenomena, simulations of phenomena, events
and processes, acquisition and building of competence in specifi c situations and instructing in
activities. Following the educational intentions, the paper also proposes complex organisational
criteria for the use of augmented reality applications, which include, in particular, the proposed
location for the implementation of augmented reality, the number of students for whom augmented
reality is intended, the anticipated role of a student in augmented reality, required mobility
and required parameters of content presentation.
