Here’s the link to my project: LinguaLens, an AR Classroom Assistant that imagines a future where mobile intelligence makes language learning more immersive, personal, and accessible. This isn’t something that exists today, but I believe it could—and should—shape how students learn in the years ahead.
Here are some questions that come to mind:
- How might AR and AI change the way teachers and students interact in the classroom?
- What ethical challenges come with using immersive tech in education, especially around privacy and access?

I really enjoyed your LinguaLens concept, it’s such a smart way to use AR to make language learning more immersive and intuitive. The idea of having real-world objects instantly labelled or explained feels like it could genuinely boost engagement and confidence for a lot of learners.
And your questions about teacher–student dynamics and ethics are spot on. I found myself wondering how tools like this can support interaction without overshadowing the teacher’s role. And with AR capturing so much of the environment, privacy and access definitely need careful thinking maybe exploring built-in privacy safeguards could strengthen the idea even more.
Overall, a really thoughtful and exciting vision. Thanks for sharing!
When I think about AR and AI in the classroom, I can actually see how they could shift the way teachers and students connect day to day. With something like LinguaLens, those visuals and labels that pop up right in the real environment make learning feel a lot more concrete. Instead of asking students to imagine something they’ve never seen, they’d get to experience it right in front of them, almost like the concept is meeting them where they are. I feel like that alone could help a lot of learners finally “get” ideas that felt abstract before.
But even with all that potential, the ethical piece is a big deal. In BC, FOIPPA really limits what teachers can do with student information, so we can’t just jump into whatever cool immersive tool shows up online. We have to rely on district approved AI, which can feel restrictive, but honestly it’s there to protect students. For me, the real challenge is finding a balance where we can explore innovative tech without compromising privacy or creating gaps in access.
