Updating the art history curriculum: incorporating virtual and augmented reality technologies to improve interactivity and engagement

Master's Project (M.Ed.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2017This project investigates how the art history curricula in higher education can borrow from and incorporate emerging technologies currently being used in art museums. Many art museums are using augmented reality and virtual reality technologies to transform their visitors' experiences into experiences that are interactive and engaging. Art museums have historically offered static visitor experiences, which have been mirrored in the study of art. This project explores the current state of the art history classroom in higher education, which is historically a teacher-centered learning environment and the learning effects of that environment. The project then looks at how art museums are creating visitor-centered learning environments; specifically looking at how they are using reality technologies (virtual and augmented) to transition into digitally interactive learning environments that support various learning theories. Lastly, the project examines the learning benefits of such tools to see what could (and should) be implemented into the art history curricula at the higher education level and provides a sample section of a curriculum demonstrating what that implementation could look like. Art and art history are a crucial part of our culture and being able to successfully engage with it and learn from it enables the spread of our culture through digital means and of digital culture

Development of augmented reality to learn history

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that enables a new information delivery environment. AR promotes both engagement and motivation for people to obtain and acquire certain knowledge or information including those concerning history. People, especially the young generation, often view history as an uninteresting and boring subject matter. This may be due to the lack of interactivity and visual images that accompanying the information on history. This could affect our level of understanding about the history of our country such as the fall of Melaka Empire and weaken our spirit of patriotism. Thus, this research aims to study the effect of combining the AR technology together with the traditional information to create excitement in learning history. The development of the AR application in this project is to enhance the traditional book by allowing users to see the digital visual of historical events. The development of the application involves five phases that are analysis, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. The mobile application of AR book on the fall of Melaka Empire history has been developed successfully and the findings show that most users agree that the application contributes to higher users’ satisfaction

Development of Application Based on Augmented Reality as A Learning of History and Culture in Architecture Case Study Pathok Negoro Mosques Yogyakarta

Pathok Negoro Mosques is an architectural masterpiece. These mosques are part of history in forming Yogyakarta. The existence of the Sultan’s Ngayogyakarta Palace is inseparable from the Pathok Negoro Mosques building. These mosques also have a function as a defensive system of the Islamic kingdom in Yogyakarta. Arguably, the current generation is getting deprived of the intellectual heritage of culture and history. The history and culture of the Pathok Negoro Mosques will be the content of this research. This research aims to develop an interactive application for learning the history and culture of architecture based on augmented reality. Augmented reality applications developed using unity. This research is proposed to be carried out in 2 stages. The first stage is related to the collection of the historical and cultural context of the mosque. The second stage is the development of an AR application for Android mobile devices. The reference data was made into the AR application with several methods, such as plane detection and image tracking. The research managed to develop a mobile augmented reality application in Unity3D 2018.3.14f1 for android devices that consists of the narrative recorded voice of brief history and culture the Pathok Negoro Mosques. The app also shows a well-ordered animation of building structure such as roof, roof insulation, roof structure and column of Pathok Negoro Mosques. Moreover, the research showed a clear step and issue of making an augmented reality app as learning of history and culture of Pathok Negoro Mosque

Learning History Using Augmented Reality

Subject of history is one of the subject that must be passed in the SPM examination. Subjet of history is very important in our life as a guides and teaches us in how to progress and advance not making the same mistakes. We also must have deep knowledge about history of homeland so we can appreciate them and also make them all our idols. However, learning about history of homeland warrior can be challenging, especially for student who think that learning about history is boring and some student are less aware of the importance of studying history. For help teacher to teach and also attract student in learn about history, we are try to use Augmented Reality for make learning session fun. The research aims to design an application for learning history of homeland using Augmented Reality

APLIKASI AUGMENTED REALITY SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN SEJARAH KEMERDEKAAN INDONESIA BERBASIS ANDROID

Understanding the Impact of the New Aesthetics and New Media Works on Future Curatorial Resource Responsibilities for Research Collections

The author examines the emerging impact of the works of the “New Aesthetic,” along with other works that have their genesis in the rapid technological changes of the last fifty-plus years. Consideration is given to the history of digital audio/visual works that will eventually be held by repositories of cultural heritage and how this history has, or has not, been documented. These creations have developed out of an environment of networked, shared, re-usable and re-purposed data. The article briefly examines how these works are utilized while looking at the future impact of the growing creation and use of complex, compound multimedia digital re- search and cultural collections as evidenced by augmented and virtual reality environments such as smartphone apps and Second Life.Ye
