Augmented Reality (AR) is a new emerging and evolving technology which is changing the way we learn and also superimposes digital information on the real world, revolutionizing industries, particularly education. The past 25 years have witnessed AR evolving through three generations: the first phase (1995-2009) witnessed expensive, clunky hardware; the second generation (2010-2019) witnessed mobile AR developments; and the third generation (2020 and onwards) involves AI, smart glasses, and web-based AR for interactive learning.AR augments learning by facilitating interactive, real-time interaction with abstract ideas, developing problem-solving, collaborative learning, and inclusive education. These are challenged by cost, accessibility, and content preparation that preclude universal adoption. Despite these limitations, education, tourism, and healthcare AR-based applications keep expanding, as in the case of Sikkim using AR across education, tourism, and healthcare. This study analyzes AR's impact on learning engagement, knowledge retention, and skill acquisition, providing a foundation for future research and best practices in augmented learning.
