The researchers in this study aimed to demonstrate how impossible it could be for a language teacher to take fixed, systematic routes of action in recent Action Research designs.  This was instantiated in an L2 (here, English) 'essay writing' course among some Persian speaker university students majoring in Hygiene Sciences (Family and Environment). Evidences regarding individualistic progress ...

Augmented Reality (AR) has been acclaimed as one of the promising technologies for advancing future UbiComp (Ubiquitous Computing) environments. Despite a myriad of AR applications and its influence on the human–computer interaction field, end products that integrate AR are less commonplace than expected. This is due to a lack of being able to forecast in which direction mainstream standardizat...

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...

This technical report addresses model-based interpolation of long signal gaps. It demonstrates that employing a modified autoregressive AR model, computed as a weighted sum of line spectral pair (LSP) polynomials, is more efficient computationally than using a conventional AR model, since longer signal gaps can be interpolated at reduced model order. Key-words: acoustic signal processing, audio...

In this paper we present an approach to support the content generation for Augmented Reality (AR)-based technical manuals by modeling and interpreting technical instructions in a semantical way. We propose the separation of the meaning of a technical instruction from its actual representation and accomplish this by designing a semantic instruction model on the base of a controlled natural langu...

Audio Augmented Reality (AR) design is currently a very difficult task. To develop audio for an AR environment a designer must have technical skills which are unrelated to the design process. The designer should be focusing on the creativity, design, and the logic of the AR rather than the details of the audio. To support the design process, an audio AR designers’ tool called Mobile Audio Desig...

This paper describes research that investigated the applicability of 3D Augmented Reality (AR) in visualizing dynamic engineering operations. The research resulted in the design and development of ARVISCOPE, a general purpose high level AR animation scripting language, and ROVER, a mobile computing hardware framework. When used together, ARVISCOPE and ROVER can create 3D AR animations of arbitr...
