Abstract
In this research Augmented Reality and real-time Object Detection
are combined in an Android application for handheld devices to try and
improve Second Language Acquisition. The possibility of doing this is
examined through a theoretical and technical study and the usability is
examined through an experiment. From this research it can be concluded
that at the moment, creating such an app is possible but it still leaves
something to be desired as real-time object detection is computationally
expensive. Next to that, no signi cant result was found that using the
application improved vocabulary learning compared to not using the ap-
plication. Consequentially the application may not be of great use in a
classroom situation, but more as a complement to the more traditional
methods of second language learning.
