The possibility of using Augmented Reality (AR) in learning and training has become more straightforward than before, as a result of the extensive use of ICT in the computer and mobile industries. Even though AR is used in education, and a general acknowledgement it has a positive impact on learning outcomes, the value of integrating AR applications into learning environments has not yet been fully investigated (Diegmann et al., 2015). This study considers the Integration of AR technology into nursing clinical lab training, introduces new ways of interacting with the manikins and allows students to view patient scenarios instead of relying on teacher explanations. AR it allows students to visualize hidden objects such as internal organs, which makes simulations more realistic and immersive. The study aim to investigate the potential of this technology in term of improving nursing students' self-learning.
