Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) is one of the latest technologies that have demonstrated to be an efficient tool to improve pedagogical techniques. In this work, we present preliminary results of ongoing research in the development of an augmented reality system to facilitate learning of Euclidean vectors properties in physics. The system aids the user to understand physical concepts, such as magnitude and direction, along with operations like addition, subtraction and cross product of vectors, by visualizing augmented virtual components merged in a user-interaction environment.
