A Survey on Implementing Augmented Reality in Learning Data Structures

Abstract

Data structures are fundamental building blocks of computer science, but their abstract nature can pose challenges for students. This research explores the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance the learning of data structures. The paper describes the development and analysis of an AR-based learning system for specific data structures. The system utilizes data visualization and interactive manipulation through 3D models and animations to explain how AR features aid in learning. The results were compelling, demonstrating significant improvement in both understanding and performance among students utilizing the AR tool. In general, this study indicates that AR can function as a valuable tool for studying data structures. This study not only highlights the effectiveness of AR in demonstrating data structures but also paves the way for future advancements in computer science education, ultimately leading to a more easily accessible and engaging learning environment for all.
