Gamification and Augmented Reality techniques, in recent years, havetackled many subjects and environments. Its implementation can, in particular,strengthen teaching and learning processes in schools and universities. Therefore,new forms of knowledge, based on interactions with objects, contributing game,experimentation and collaborative work. Through the technologies mentionedabove, we intend to develop an application that serves as a didactic tool, givingsupport in the area of Computer Networks. This application aims to stand out insimulated controlled environments to create computer networks, taking into account the necessary physical devices and the different physical and logical topologies. The main goal is to enrich the students? learning experiences and contribute to teacher-student interaction, through collaborative learning provided by thetool, minimizing the need for expensive equipment in learning environments
