Abstract

In recent years, it has been possible to prepare very important studies in the field of education by using Augmented Reality technology. With this technology, video, graphics, sound and three-dimensional models are used in the environment of physical objects in the real world. Today, Augmented Reality technology is used in industry, education, medicine, logistics, industry, etc. are frequently used in the fields. Therefore, due to the development of applications in this field, technological devices have been enabled to communicate with their environment and acquire new information. In this study, an application has been developed to help disabled individuals understand the functions of their brain functions and to improve their learning abilities. In the application, the functions of brain functions are explained, thanks to the content activated with the help of a button that appears on the screen on any technological device. If a visually impaired person uses this application, brain functions are explained only with audio narration and animations. If a hearing-impaired individual uses it, brain functions are explained only with texts and animations. In this way, the learning abilities of the disabled are improved more easily and it is easier to understand the subjects.
