IV. CONCLUSIONS
Sensors are extensively used to derive the context in
Context Aware AR applications. Sufficient number of them
are available on mobile devices today to development such
applications.
There is big opportunity available to develop new
applications/services. Context aware learning environments
will benefit with the use of mobile, AR, and internet
technologies.
Augmented reality has been called the eighth mass medium,
after print, recordings, cinema, radio, television, Internet and
mobile phones. By reaching out to media companies, the
industry, which was a collection of smartphone apps
generating less than $2 million in 2010, is on the verge of
becoming a real business worth perhaps $1.5 billion in 2015

MARS lab is conducting research activities in tune with the
growing industry demands. There is a need to develop
software development framework for developing advanced
AR learning applications. An AR software framework and
applications like the AR board presented in this paper are
being developed in MARS lab.
