Abstract

Education and the development of children’s intellectual skills is the most important 
employment for the field of visual communication, which has accelerated significantly in 
recent times, especially after the emergence of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality 
technologies, which had a significant impact on enriching the educational process, as it helped 
the learner to cross the barrier of time and space. She helped the learner to travel and dive 
through different times and places. The paper discusses augmented reality technology and its 
role in enriching the learning process. The researchers also conducted a practical experiment 
to teach the rituals of Hajj for children aged 3-6. The reason for choosing the rituals of Hajj -
in addition to the importance of that worship - is that it is one of the acts of worship that 
contains many details and variables, which made the need to simplify and communicate it in 
an educational and entertaining way for children a vital matter. The design of the game has 
gone through several stages, starting with plans, mental maps and infographics, through the 
design and experience of the user interface, and the end of the implementation of augmented 
reality techniques.
