Organizations and enterprises face a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment today. To be able to keep up with the environment’s changes, organizational learning is important. Augmented reality (AR) might be a technology that can help to improve the efficiency and possibilities of organizational learning. AR offers a technical possibility to extend the real environment with additional information. Teaching is one of the various areas in AR that might make sense for. Here, the added value from AR, such as an increase in learning success and motivation, has been identified. At the same time, collaborative learning and working on virtual models are possible through AR. In this process, people can understand contexts more efficiently through real-time feedback, as well as a different perspective on objects and processes. Despite its potential, the application of AR for organizational learning is a topic that is underexplored. This study aims to shed light on the potential that AR can have for educational purposes. Based on a review of existing literature, we show different applications of AR for learning and outline and summarize the results of prior studies.
