Poesía Kinestésica: El Uso de Realidad Aumentada para la Interpretación de Textos Literarios

Introduction: This research examines the implementation of augmented reality (AR) as a technological mediator in the interpretation of poetic literary texts, under the theoretical concept of “kinesthetic poetry.” Materials and methods: The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with a mixed approach, with a sample of 127 students aged between 15 and 17. AR applications developed specifically for the project were used, linking poetic fragments by authors such as Antonio Machado, Gloria Fuertes, Nicolás Guillén, and Gabriela Mistral with animations, soundscapes, and interactive resources. Results and discussions: The results show statistically significant increases in deep semantic comprehension (p < 0.01), in the level of emotional involvement with the poems, and in the long-term retention of poetic images. Conclusions: It is concluded that AR, integrated pedagogically and not as a mere technological artifact, constitutes a genuine catalyst for literary education, provided that its design respects the principles of reading and literary competence and does not replace the hermeneutic process inherent in the text.
