Abstract

The main purpose of our study is to create a cost-effective educational tool that can be integrated into existing books and used in the education of the hearing-impaired. In order to achieve this, it is aimed to combine augmented reality with textbooks. In this way, savings will be made in the education of the hearing-impaired with the system to be used in existing textbooks.

Textbooks distributed by the Ministry of National Education and the Digital Game Design program Unity and Vuforia plug-in were used to carry out this study . It is seen that the product that emerges during the evaluation process is important both in facilitating the work of the teacher and in increasing the academic success of the hearing-impaired student.

Another important point is that instead of preparing separate books and curricula for all students with special needs, savings are achieved by using existing textbooks for the hearing impaired. Such training materials are important even when the use of virtual and augmented reality applications increases in the future.
