Using Augmented Reality as a Medium to Assist Teaching in Higher Education
In this paper we describe the use of a high-level augmented reality
(AR) interface for the construction of collaborative educational applications
that can be used in practice to enhance current teaching
methods. A combination of multimedia information including spatial
three-dimensional models, images, textual information, video,
animations and sound, can be superimposed in a student-friendly
manner into the learning environment. In several case studies different
learning scenarios have been carefully designed based on
human-computer interaction principles so that meaningful virtual
information is presented in an interactive and compelling way. Collaboration
between the participants is achieved through use of a
tangible AR interface that uses marker cards as well as an immersive
AR environment which is based on software user interfaces
(UIs) and hardware devices. The interactive AR interface has been
piloted in the classroom at two UK universities in departments of
