Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Currently, more and more interactive media environments are offered to users. Augmented reality (AR) technologies are one of the environments where interactive interaction is provided and which can integrate objects in virtual environments with real objects. Augmented reality technologies are used in many areas, including in the field of education. Some aspects of the development of augmented reality applications are discussed in the article. It was revealed that the Unity platform and the Vuforia plugin are used as the most popular tools by AR application developers, which have a number of advantages. The process of developing an AR application for the education sector using the Unity environment, the C# programming language and Vuforia is considered. The Unity 3D environment and the Vuforia plugin are in practice an effective combination of flexible mobile application development tools with augmented reality elements.
