Abstract


The budding growth of augmented reality provides a chance for rehabilitation institutions in Kenya to motivate and engage students making science, technology and mathematics   learning process faster, fun and better. Although augmented reality is a technology that integrates real images with virtual objects simultaneously, there are concerns that must be considered. This paper ascertains the most relevant effects of its adoption in institutions. The aim is to explore the benefits of Augmented reality in transforming and encouraging students to embrace science, technology and mathematics in rehabilitation institutions. Adoption of augmented reality in rehabilitation institutions in Kenya is important because it enhances the traditional mode of teaching.

 

Key words: Augmented reality, Rehabilitation centre, Information Communication Technology (ICT).
