Abstract

Augmented Reality is a technology that complements perception and interaction with the real world and allows the user to be in an augmented real environment with additional information generated by the computer. The academic world is not apart from these initiatives and has also started to introduce Augmented Reality technology in some of its disciplines, in this case, in the learning of financial mathematics, however, the knowledge and applicability of This technology in teaching is minimal; among other reasons, it is due to the very nature and state of development of said technology, as well as to its low presence in the daily areas of society. The development of initiatives in the use of this technology in education and its dissemination will contribute to its extension in the teaching-student community. Given the above, this work proposes the use of Augmented Reality applied to Learning Objects, in order to verify its implementation for specific topics, through a mobile application, in this case the subject of Financial mathematics, at the Faculty of Economic Sciences Administrative and Accountants of the University of Sinú.
