Evaluating the Effect on User Perception and Performance of Static and Dynamic Contents Deployed in Augmented Reality based Learning Application

Abstract

Nowadays, the use of technology to improve teaching and learning experiences in the classroom has been promoted. One of these technologies is augmented reality, which allows overlaying layers of virtual information on real scene with the aim of increasing the perception that user has of reality. Augmented reality has proved to offer several advantages in the educational context, i.e. increasing learning engagement and increasing understanding of some topics, especially when spatial skills are involved. Contents deployed in an augmented reality application are of two types, static, i.e. text, or dynamic, i.e. animations. As far as we know no research project has assessed how the type of content, static or dynamic, can affect the student learning perception and performance in augmented reality applications. In this article the development and evaluation of an augmented reality application using static and dynamic content is described. In order to determine how the type of content affects the learning perception and performance of the student, two experimental designs in which the student interact with the application, using static and dynamic contents, for learning topics related with an electronic fundamentals course was performed.

Augmented Reality Trends in Education between 2016 and 2017 Years

“…Their results showed that using AR technology in course provided students to increase their academic performance, motivation, and satisfaction. Montoya et al [66] developed an AR mobile application and they compared effect of static and dynamic content on students' science learning. Their results revealed that using dynamic content in AR applications helped students to enhance learning perception and performance.…”

Augmented Reality Technology in Handball Teaching Based on Wireless Communication Environment

“…R is a 3 × 3 rotation matrix and t is 3 × 1. The mapping matrix of transformation matrix T from real space to unity3d space is as follows: (7) In this way, a one-to-one correspondence relationship is established between the real space and the coordinates of the marker points in the virtual space. Each virtual body PX in the virtual space can be uniquely mapped to the corresponding position entity PS on the human organs in the real space, which is converted into: In the left-handed system, the matrix RX corresponding to the rotation angle P ° about the x-axis…”

“…According to the observer's current field of view, the coordinate system is reestablished and the virtual object is displayed in the following ways. This process to the correct position is called tracking [7][8].…”

“…The design experiment followed some of the methods of the experiment done in Montoya, et al [13]. After gathering data from the experiment, data analysis methods were carried out by the participants.…”
