The use of information technologies has changed the way people learn and/or obtain knowledge. People with various learning difficulties have greater difficulty in obtaining knowledge and learning. Therefore, the use of technological tools to help improve this stage of human development is vital, especially for children and people with disabilities. The present research work aims to develop an application that uses augmented reality programming in the Unity development environment to facilitate learning about animals or the animal kingdom. For this purpose, previously established steps were followed to achieve the objective as well as the distribution of homework. Background research was conducted on the practice or development of this technology in basic education for children between 5 to 9 years, then the active methodology of gamification was performed for the development of the proposed application ZooAR, to finally compare the differences of our application with the background obtained. It is expected that the development of this technology in different fields of education will be implemented in the future.
