This page presents a review of research related to learner struggles in understanding and/or visualizing fields. The article discusses documented common difficulties among students of algebra-based physics in forming accurate mental models of magnetic fields, electromagnetic processes, field intensity, and the 3D nature of fields. It then explains how AR (Augmented Reality) is being used to provide sensor-based tools to visualize fields in real time to augment student understanding.
