Educational Uses of Augmented Reality (AR): Experiences in Educational Science

Dynamic Differential Geometry in an Educational Augmented Reality Application

In this thesis a number of geometry software packages leading both to static and dynamic constructions and their particular features will be presented. Afterwards Construct3D [14] a 3D dynamic geometry construction tool will be introduced. It is based on the Augmented Reality System Studierstube. Construct3D's greatest advantage compared to other dynamic geometry software is the possibility for...

Summary of Usability Evaluations of an Educational Augmented Reality Application

We summarize three evaluations of an educational augmented reality application for geometry education, which have been conducted in 2000, 2003 and 2005 respectively. Repeated formative evaluations with more than 100 students guided the redesign of the application and its user interface throughout the years. We present and discuss the results regarding usability and simulator sickness providing ...

Chapter 1 WIRELESS DISPLAYS IN EDUCATIONAL AUGMENTED REALITY APPLICATIONS

Exploring the Educational Use of an Augmented Reality Books

This study aims at exploring and promoting the availability of AR books to augment real and physical books with virtual content for education. Above all, previously developed cases as well as literature review relating to AR books provide an introduction to what an AR book is and its educational effects and technical characteristics. To achieve this goal, we analyzed 13 research cases of develo...

Long Distance Distribution of Educational Augmented Reality Applications

For distance education utilizing shared Virtual or Augmented Reality (VR/AR) applications, reliable network distribution of educational content is of prime importance. In this paper we summarize the development of software components enabling stable and reliable distribution of an existing educational AR application for geometry education. Our efforts focus on three main areas: (1) For long dis...
