Augmented Reality is finding its way into classrooms

Plickers is an educational tool for teachers that uses augmented reality to create an innovative teaching system. The idea behind this is that the teacher asks his students questions and they then answer them using a card with a code.

The questions that the teacher can ask follow the multiple choice concept. Students confirm the answer A, B, C, or D by placing their card on one of the four answers. Each student has their own card with a special code.

The teacher simply has to use the camera on their smartphone to collect the students' answers. These are then registered directly in the database. The augmented reality system automatically recognizes each student's response and translates the information into a real-time graph showing the progress of each student and the class as a whole.

And the best part is that the students cannot, in principle, copy their answers since the answer cannot be seen at first glance on the card. And that's not all: the APK is free to download and the application can be completely customized.
