“…At each stage (finding the orbit, "hunting" the planet, and answering the question) the players gain points (Figures 1 and 2). The player with the best score and the best time wins the game [11]. These characteristics are related to gamification that promote the player's engagement and motivation provided by the competition among the peers [12].…”

“…The first version of the game started to be designed in 2016 by two students from Digital Content Production (Master's degree) and Computer Engineering (Bachelors' degree). This version consisted of a mobile application targeted to promote learning about our Solar System and for this reason it was called SolarSystemGO [11]. The SolarSystemGO game was implemented in informal learning environments, during students' school holidays in the Polytechnic's campus.…”

“…The SolarSystemGO game was implemented in informal learning environments, during students' school holidays in the Polytechnic's campus. After the last experience that occurred in the 2017 summer school holidays, the authors concluded that the game engaged students to play it and promoted learning about the Solar System [11]. Because of these good preliminary results, we decided to keep upgrading the game in order to provide the users with more diversified experiences.…”

“…In the school year 2016/2017, two implementation tests took place on the campus of the Instituto Politécnico de Tomar during Christmas 2016 and Summer 2017 holidays. In this version, it was possible to visualize the planets on the smartphone but, because this was an incomplete version, QR code-based markers were used to give information about the planets of the Solar System [11]. Also, we used different models of smartphones according to their availability, and concluded that low level models may seriously compromise the game performance.…”

Design of a Mobile Augmented Reality Platform with Game-Based Learning Purposes

Augmented reality (AR) is an emergent technology that overlays virtual objects into the real environment. Lately, AR is gaining prominence in education because of its increasing affordability through computers or mobile technologies. In addition, research sustaining the benefits of AR to promote student’s engagement to learn is increasing every day. However, the literature identifies lack of studies about the use of AR in education, namely, studies focused on the development of AR games designed over specific learning objectives (game-based learning). This paper presents a mobile augmented reality platform with learning purposes. The platform includes a mobile application that consists of a location-based game targeted to promote learning about the universe. Furthermore, it includes a back-office that allows teachers to introduce information about celestial bodies and also develop a set of multiple-choice questions to assess student’s learning about the subject matters they teach. The mobile application provides the users with physical movement and social interaction in the real world, while playing the game and for this reason it is included in the pervasive games’ paradigm. Besides engaging the students to play the game, we argue that this platform may be used as a resource to be implemented in informal and formal learning environments.

“…Augmented Reality (AR) was introduced by Louis Rosenberg in 1992 which is a system that applies interactive experiences from real-world environments where objects are in the real world and enhanced by perceptual information generated by computers or systems. AR provides many benefits in the way users access information and this technology can develop rapidly and be used in various areas of life such as marketing, shopping, education, interior, exterior, and others (Costa et al, 2018). The learning method used to support the learning process of teaching activities at this time, especially in science subjects, the introduction of the human digestive organs, still uses books, worksheets, and uses training materials for teaching aids (Khan et al, 2019).…”

The total population of Indonesia as of September 2020 is based on the official statistical news number 07/01/th. XXIV, 21 January 2021 issued by the Indonesian Statistics Center, totaling 270.20 million people and 10.88% or 29,397,760 people are the post Gen Z generation born from 2013 onwards with an estimated age up to 7 years of age. The post Gen Z generation is a generation that is categorized as early childhood. Moreover, learning from an early age is important so that children are familiarized with the knowledge they are most interested in and mastered so that it makes it easier for them to understand it. Especially if the learning material is delivered electronically via a smartphone which is associated with the application of the Augmented Reality (AR) method so that they are more interested in learning and with a different atmosphere in terms of delivering face-to-face subject matter in class which is sometimes boring. In this paper, we design and implement a learning model equipped with AR technology to make it easier for young children to learn subject matter that is important for their future and limited to science subject matter. In this paper, a mobile application with AR technology is proposed where users can learn from the images they capture and gain learning from the perspective of these images. What's more, the application of AR technology is also more practical and reduces the burden of carrying heavy and thick books in studying a subject matter. The model was designed using a use case diagram as a business process design and class diagrams for database design including the user interface as a representation of communication between users and applications.

This study conducts meta‐analytical estimations based on 70 empirical studies regarding inconsistent effect sizes of augmented reality in interactive learning environments. It finds that compared with traditional tools, augmented reality in interactive learning environments significantly enhances overall learning effectiveness (g = 0.717, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.606–0.827) at the 0.05 level. The moderating analysis finds that augmented reality in interactive learning environments significantly enhances (1) students' acceptance of technological systems and attitudes toward their courses, (2) comfort, engagement, and self‐efficacy, (3) learning motivations (measured by attention, perceived relevance to learning objectives, confidence, satisfaction, and interest), (4) critical thinking and practical skills, and (5) knowledge acquisition outcomes (including memorization, retention, and application). Interactive augmented reality has insignificant influences on students' flow experience, collaboration, and communication at the 0.05 level, while significantly reducing cognitive load at the 0.05 level. The findings in this study may enlighten further studies on educational technologies and extend applications of augmented reality in education.
