This research paper initially attempts to give a brief bibliographic overview of the concept of augmented reality, its applications and corresponding outcomes in the field of education, since enhancing the real-world environment with digital information is considered to offer additional opportunities for teaching and learning. Subsequently, it is designed, developed and implemented in the 5th class of Primary School, an original Augmented Reality (AR) educational textbook application in the "Physics" section of the "Physics - Explore and discover" course to explore the effect of Physics AR textbooks on learning outcomes and on students' interest and attitudes about the subject. The results of this application show a positive impact on learning outcomes and reinforce students' interest and positive attitude towards the Physics lesson, a desire derived towards the extension this type of application to other knowledge objects.
