This unique study delves into the use of cutting-edge technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), 3D design, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of Real Estate education and businesses. We explore the integration of these emerging technologies with traditional tools like websites, blogs, and apps, and their adoption by students and enterprises in the Real Estate sector. By conducting questionnaires, we capture the current trends and perceptions among students at a specific higher education institution. Our findings, compared with existing studies, reveal the rapid adoption and impact of these technologies, underscoring the need for continuous research in this dynamic field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent digital games have been developed not only for entertainment purposes, but also to promote learning. This paper presents MOW (Matching Objects and Words), which is an Augmented Reality (AR) game for learning words in different languages. Experimental tests were performed with Portuguese children during English classes. We have compared the results from using MOW along with traditional teaching methods. The results indicate that children who used the Augmented Reality games had a superior learning progress than those who used only traditional methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The leather tanning process carries a high cultural value in Guimarães city. In some areas of Portugal, most of the society and its history are somehow interlaced with the history of the leather and all the associated processes of its production. There is a great lack of a “vivid” memory about the leather tanning process and its social implications. References to it in Guimarães city can be reduced to text and poor quality pictures. On the other hand, it is important to transmit to future generations the valuable role of the leather tanning in the local culture. At this point, the use of augmented reality techniques can help to illustrate interactively, expressively and with a compelling degree of immersion how this process used to be done, and help to preserve its memory. This project consisted in the development and implementation of an augmented reality application to young audiences that illustrates the ancient leather tanning process step-by-step. The resulting visualizations offer an impressive education experience that help to transfer a significant culture value of the Guimarães city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
