Abstract:
Augmented Reality has gone from science fiction dream to possible emerging technology in the modern world.
This futuristic technology has the ability to blend the real world with digital world. This paper presents an Augmented
Reality based mobile solution for children to enhance their Sinhala alphabet learning experience. With this tool,
children can interactively learn letters, pronunciation and usage of letters in real world scenarios. Generally, teaching
preschool children could be difficult since they only focus on an activity for a short period of time. Therefore this
solution mainly focuses on adding fun and entertainment while addressing cognitive skills of the children. This
application adds totally new learning experience for its users. A survey done with pre-school children and teachers
proved that using Augmented Reality based solution with latest technologies are very helpful for learning things and
teaching things efficiently. Most students requested to use the Augmented Reality application repeatedly. Teachers
showed high level of enthusiasm and over 85% of the respondents gave extremely positive feedback
