Due to the lack of studies related to the use of augmented reality technology in the field of education, the impact of augmented reality technology on the educational environment for higher education students needs further exploration. Therefore, the current study aimed to know the effect of augmented reality technology on developing hand embroidery skills. The participants were 20 students from the College of Education at Najran University. They were divided randomly into two groups (experimental and control), each group included 10 students. Where the experimental group studied the "hand embroidery" course through the augmented reality technique, and the control group studied the same course in the traditional way. A product evaluation card was used as a tool to achieve the objective of the study. The study found the effectiveness of augmented reality technology in enhancing the students' skills in hand embroidery. The results provide important evidence of the advantages of augmented reality technology in the studies and development of the educational field.
