“Traditional methods of education as we know it are becoming a thing of the past. They are becoming increasingly digitized, and being driven by technology innovations (Chalimov, 2020).” There is no age limit for the use of AR technology. This means that everything from preschool children to college students involved in work can use this technology.

Compared with traditional teaching, the biggest advantage of AR equipment is “cost saving.” This cost is twofold. The first aspect is time cost. AR technology allows people to learn and find materials anytime, anywhere, without having to use specific books or materials, which greatly accelerates the efficiency of learning. The second is the cost of money. “AR can emulate an environment, which closely resembles the setting where soldiers are expected to operate(Chalimov, 2020).” This move has significantly reduced the country’s expenditure. Allowing countries, institutions, and even individuals to have more economic freedom.

One more thing is safety. AR can train some people who are used to deal with special situations, and avoid them from conducting field exercises. For example, doctors can perform AR training before surgery to improve the success rate of surgery. This example shows that AR technology can be used in any situation where users need to be educated.

Of course, not every country and region has the conditions to use AR technology. Therefore, increasing the penetration rate of technological equipment is a prerequisite for the use of AR equipment.
