Experiential learning has gained importance lately in academics. Educators are facilitating Learning by Doing in classrooms. But this may not be possible in many circumstances, especially for schools in remote areas with limited resources. This proposed work is about a technology to bridge this gap and help educators. There is a need for making the learning process interactive for kids of primary and preprimary section in order to build fundamental abilities of reading and understanding their surroundings. ARLearn bridges a paperback book with AR Technology. The AR Technology is designed to make the book content become alive in 3D over any simple smartphone with an interactive storyline. This helps kids to enjoy the learning process. ARLearn (Augmented Reality Learning Book) illustrates the evolution of a new notion of virtual interpretation of classic textbooks and audio-visual information in learners native language. The goal of this application is to help in developing reading habits in kids at an early age by facilitating them to understand the content of books in their own language as well as in English. It is suggested that kids at an early age have a very powerful imagination. Books, where they get accompanying technology to help in understanding, could be the solution that helps the kids to flourish their thinking skills. Using augmented reality technology, which incorporates new technological approaches, allows the user to experience the book content while enjoying and interacting with the information, enhancing the cognitive learning experience.
