Summary

The exponential growth of new technologies has meant that the educational field has had to update itself. From the educational point of view, there are some studies that have promoted the implementation of new technologies. These facts have raised the need to implement augmented reality in the university environment, especially among students of health sciences. The use of augmented reality can mean a new approach to teaching by teachers and better learning by students. Objetive: To compare the degree of usability of the two augmented reality applications and to analyse the academic performance of the control group and the experimental group at the Universities of Cadiz and Malaga. The existence of significant differences and relationships between the two variables will be observed.
