Teaching Mathematics with Augmented Reality

Low achievement in mathematics education has been an increasing problem in the recent years in Portugal. According to a 2010 study from the U.S. Department of Education, blended learning classes produce statistically better results than their face-to-face. There is also an increasing number of students using smartphones and tablets in schools. Mobile devices gained popularity as an educational ...

Course 3 : Ubiquitous Tracking for Augmented Reality

Prototyping Augmented Reality With Elementary Mathematics Teachers

In recent years, augmented reality (AR) applications for children’s entertainment have been gaining popularity, and educational organizations are increasingly interested in applying this technology to children’s educational games. In this paper we describe an effective process of collaboration between teachers and game designers, in order to explore educational game ideas for AR technology. Thi...

Design Patterns for Augmented Reality Systems

For documentation and development of augmented reality (AR) systems, we propose the use of design patterns. Patterns are structured descriptions of successfully applied problem-solving knowledge. They describe a specific design problem, the particular design context, and a generic solution scheme. The solution scheme specifies the involved components, their responsibilities, relationships and t...

Distributed Augmented Reality for Collaborative Design Applications

This paper presents a system for constructing collaborative design applications based on distributed augmented reality. Augmented reality interfaces are a natural method for presenting computer-based design by merging graphics with a view of the real world. Distribution enables users at remote sites to collaborate on design tasks. The users interactively control their local view, try out design...
