Augmented Reality

Abstract

This chapter intends to advance a sociocultural perspective to frame the integration of augmented reality technology for the learning of mathematics. It is discussed the design of an application already produced with this technology. The purpose of the application is to promote the development of spatial ability while also reviewing the visualization of some calculus topics at college. The author contends the benefits of focusing in the graphical representation to approach mathematics knowledge, especially because digital devices are part of the modern culture. Students today are familiar to explore in digital media, and this should be an opportunity to inquire the power of digital design to engage in mathematical thinking.
