Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the emerging advanced technologies which bridges the gap between the real and the virtual worlds, that gives students prodigious possibilities to learn the information in a completely unique way. With the rising use of personal smart devices in this modern era, the vast potentials of AR have begun to be explored as the smart devices are capable of producing AR environments. In this paper, we have conducted a survey with the purpose of exploring threats and possible opportunities of adopting AR in education in a developing country like Bangladesh. Data analysis and outcomes of the survey demonstrate that lack of expertise, adoption of AR in rural area are the main challenges while increased focus and satisfaction in learning, increased accessibility of AR applications in our smart devices with 4G evolution are the opportunities of adopting AR in education sector of a developing country.
