Augmented Reality (AR) is becoming increasingly popular for its ability to help educators to create an engaging and creative method of teaching. The increasing use of technology has piqued researchers’ interests in studying its efficiency. Following this observation, this study aims to explore educators’ readiness in embracing AR as an enhancement teaching tool in the future. This study employed a quantitative methodology and collected 223 respondents’ data from five private universities in Malaysia. The data was analysed using the Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) software. The results demonstrated that there were significant relationships between educators’ innovation towards the intention to adopt AR moderated by perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEU) . This study provides some insightful AR applications in the education industry, which is in line with the Industrial Revolution 4.0 theme. It successfully identifies the importance of motivating educators and students in embracing AR as an enhancement learning tool, providing a valuable discussion for the government, learning institutions, and educators on the implementation of AR in Malaysia.  \nKeywords: augmented reality, educator innovation, technology acceptance model, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe significant progress of current technology has made an impact on the teaching and learning process. Recent years have seen that digital materials and e-learning tools being heavily incorporated in the education industry. Its practicality is further demonstrated during the disruptive period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic – since schools and universities are not able to function normally, educators switched to digital  \nteaching and learning platform to continue teaching. Such a significant impact increases educators’awareness of the need to adopt technology in their teaching and learning process.  \nThe incorporation of technology in education has been observed to have positive and construction impacts, particularly when combined with adequate pedagogical foundations. Some researches agree that technology-embedded education encourages more innovative and interactive forms of teaching and learning process, increasing students’ motivations (Bursali & Yilmaz, 2019; Ebenezer, Kaya, & Kassab, 2018; Fuchsova & Korenova, 2019; Kaewunruen, 2019; Shapley, Sheehan, Maloney, & Caranikas-Walker, 2011), while also increasing students’ efficacy of learning experiences in the actual world (Weng et al., 2016) .  \nFurthermore, the integration of technology has transformed the learning environment into a more engaging, interactive, authentic, and joyful environment (Cheng, 2018; Gan & Balakrishnan, 2018) . Various technologies such as multimedia, internet, mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality, and AR are integrated into the education system (Kiryakova, Angelova, & Yordanova, 2018) . The AR was pioneered by Sutherland (1968)– he developed and introduced the AR interface, which used the head-mounted display to depict 3D graphics. Azuma (1997) has further surveyed on the features of Augmented Reality technology and the tradeoffs between video blending and the optical interventions which served as starting point for AR research.
