In order to be used for skill development and skill maintenance, virtual environments require accurate simulation of the physical phenomena involved in the process of the task being trained. The accuracy needs to be conveyed in a multimodal fashion with varying parameterisations still being quantified, and these are a function of task, prior knowledge, sensory efficacy and human perception. Virtual reality (VR) has been integrated from a didactic perspective in many serious games and shown to be effective in the pedological process. This paper interrogates whether didactic processes introduced into a VR serious game, by taking advantage of augmented virtuality to modify game attributes, can be effective for both beginners and experts to a task. The task in question is subjective performance in a clay pigeon shooting simulation. The investigation covers whether modified game attributes influence skill and learning in a complex motor task and also investigates whether this process is applicable to experts as well as beginners to the task. VR offers designers and developers of serious games the ability to provide information in the virtual world in a fashion that is impossible in the real world. This introduces the question of whether this is effective and transfers skill adoption into the real world and also if a-priori knowledge influences the practical nature of this information in the pedagogic process. Analysis is conducted via a between-subjects repeated measure ANOVA using a 2 × 2 factorial design to address these questions. The results show that the different training provided affects the performance in this task (N = 57). The skill improvement is still evidenced in repeated measures when information and guidance is removed. This effect does not exist under a control condition. Additionally, we separate by an expert and non-expert group to deduce if a-priori knowledge influences the effect of the presented information, it is shown that it does not.

“…Further, an emerging trend of serious games, which are computer games meant for non-leisure and educational purposes, has also been observed. They are different and better than traditional games because they may be used for simulations in areas, such as medicine, military operations, and education, thereby linking entertainment and work [36]. As case study, two AR games were used; the AR Puzzle, a puzzle game based on the City University campus in London, and AR Breakout, an old arcade game that was moved to a tangible environment.…”

This paper presents a detailed review of the applications of augmented reality (AR) in three important fields where AR use is currently increasing. The objective of this study is to highlight how AR improves and enhances the user experience in entertainment, medicine, and retail. The authors briefly introduce the topic of AR and discuss its differences from virtual reality. They also explain the software and hardware technologies required for implementing an AR system and the different types of displays required for enhancing the user experience. The growth of AR in markets is also briefly discussed. In the three sections of the paper, the applications of AR are discussed. The use of AR in multiplayer gaming, computer games, broadcasting, and multimedia videos, as an aspect of entertainment and gaming is highlighted. AR in medicine involves the use of AR in medical healing, medical training, medical teaching, surgery, and post-medical treatment. AR in retail was discussed in terms of its uses in advertisement, marketing, fashion retail, and online shopping. The authors concluded the paper by detailing the future use of AR and its advantages and disadvantages in the current scenario.

“…Dünser and Hornecker (2007) employed think-aloud to evaluate how young children interact with augmented reality books. Liarokapis and colleagues (Liarokapis, Macan & Malone, 2009a;Liarokapis, Macan, Malone, Rebolledo-Mendez & de Freitas, 2009b) used think-aloud to evaluate and discuss implementation of different interaction methods in AR games. Nielsen et al (2002) assert the importance of addressing the potential issues related with the think-aloud technique before, during, and after a session.…”

Firstly, a sincere thank you to Professor Weiqin Chen for her dedicated support throughout this process. Without her guidance, this thesis would never have happened.My colleagues at the department: Frode Guribye, who deserves a thank you for teaching me the extracurricular aspects of being an academic, Lars Nyre for his inspiring words and Kristine Jørgensen for the fruitful collaboration. The team at Bryggen Research, including Aleksander Krzywinski, Jørund Fjøsne and Martin Lie. Thank you for your constant encouragement and for bothering to listen to my arguments. My associates in the Augmented Reality Research Group: Jonas Waage, Ingerid Rødseth, David Burns, and Jan Andre Johnsen. Thank you for an exciting time developing and releasing ARad. My sister, Trude Meling, for going the extra mile and coming with me to India to keep me company while I presented a paper. My parents, Geir Olav Meling and Audny Gjøsaeter, for not asking, "How is the thesis work coming along?" over the last year, and just silently trusting it would eventually come to pass. The in-laws, Lars Magne Halleraker and Heidi Irene Vespestad, for their support.Lastly, but most importantly, I would like to thank Helga Marie Halleraker, my superior half. There comes a point in every thesis when you need someone to be there with you for the paper rejections, the acceptances, the fallbacks, the grind, and the eventual triumph. Thank you for the small things that make life worth living.
