Abstract

The advent of the term Society 5.0 brings in a new concept of human-centered technology integration, education included. Augmented Reality (AR) provides an interactive and immersive learning experience. The objective of this research is to systematically examine the trends, advantages, challenges, and relevance of the use of AR in education within the context of Society 5.0. Through the application of the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, 46 research articles published on ScienceDirect between 2020 and 2025 were filtered through inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings indicate that AR adoption is on the rise, specifically in higher education and in medical and engineering disciplines. Most studies cite the function of AR in aiding enhanced learning outcomes, student motivation, and interactive simulations. However, the use of AR must also navigate infrastructural limitations, teacher preparedness, and budget constraints. This study charts the deployment of AR in a human-centered education system and offers direction to subsequent research and development
