Abstract

Data structures are fundamental components of computer science and are essential for organizing, storing, and retrieving data efficiently. However, understanding the dynamic behavior and internal operations of complex data structures can be challenging, especially for beginners. This project presents an interactive Augmented Reality (AR) application designed to dynamically visualize various data structures based on user inputs. By leveraging AR technology, users can insert values, witness real-time construction and modification of data structures, and observe internal operations such as insertion, deletion, and traversal in a 3D environment. The primary goal is to enhance learners' comprehension of abstract data structure behavior by providing an immersive hands-on educational experience. The AR application was developed using Unity and the AR Foundation, offering an intuitive interface with interactive features such as zooming, rotating, and manipulating structural elements. This study also explores the potential of AR as a modern teaching aid for data structure education and compares its effectiveness to traditional 2D visualization techniques. The findings indicate that AR-based tools significantly improve learner engagement and conceptual understanding of a wide range of abstract data structures, demonstrating the potential of immersive technology in computer science education.
