In our work, we propose a series of applications that simulate these experiences,  addressing the problem of language learning and specifically vocabulary learning. Learning vocabulary in a primary or secondary language is enhanced when we encounter words in context. This context can be afforded by the place or activity we are engaged with. Several techniques can be used to learn the vocabulary in a foreign language. The &#8220;<strong>Keyword Method<\/strong>&#8221; is one of such technique used to learn foreign language vocabulary. It involves forming a mental link (association) between what a foreign word means and what its pronunciation phonetically reminds us of (keyword). However, the visualisations of such memorable links remain implicit in person&#8217;s head. In our work, we propose an enhancement to the vocabulary learning process by combining keyword method and providing the user with learning tools in context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>VocabulARy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vocabulARy: Learning Vocabulary in AR Supported by Keyword Visualisations.\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RoplMCzC278?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arigat\u014c<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Arigat\u014d: Effects of Adaptive Guidance on Engagement and Performance in AR Learning Environments\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0t35OmH1vVI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conference Presentations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"VocabulARy ISMAR, TVCG Presentation\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nUcvfamRHlQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">VocabulARy ISMAR 2022, TVCG Presentation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Arigat\u014c ISMAR, TVCG Presentation\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/efxvIc021Vw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arigat\u014c ISMAR, TVCG Presentation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attygalle, N.T., Kljun, M., Quigley, A., \u010copi\u010d Pucihar, K., Grubert, J., Biener, V., Leiva, L.A., Yoneyama, J., Toniolo, A., Miguel, A., Kato, H. and Weerasinghe, M.
