Summary:Augmented Reality (AR) appears to have great potential in education and training. Although this technology has become mainstream through the use of handheld mobile devices, consumer-grade AR glasses are beginning to become available. These glasses could unlock the potential of AR by increasing freedom of movement, performance and safety. This preliminary study explores user experience and acceptance of state-of-the-art AR glasses. A simple activity was created to visualize electromagnetic radiation for science literacy purposes and then evaluated by university students (N=154). The results showed moderate spatial presence, low simulator sickness and high levels of acceptance and satisfaction.
