To validate the explanatory power of the items in the scale and scale data on measuring the variables, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used. For items found low by CFA, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied. Path analysis was adopted to analyze the tendency towards the use of augmented reality. In conclusion, adaptive values of the measured model were found to have been significant in general, albeit not all projected correlations were significant. The uncorrelated variable was removed, the model was reanalyzed and these findings were interpreted. For further research with augmented reality, different variables were recommended.
