Description

Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging interactive technology that can be employed in simulation to enhance student learning. Most of the studies on AR applications examine the participant role rather than the observer role. In this podcast and article, Chelsea Lebo and Ashley Stallworth describe the benefits of AR for observers during high-fidelity simulations. Students found the AR goggles engaging, valuable for visualizing interventions and physiological processes, and helpful for understanding emergent situations and potential patient care strategies. However, a few students had technical difficulties with the AR equipment. The authors discuss AR and its future in nursing education.
