Supporting Student Laboratory Experiments With Augmented Reality Experience

Abstract

The large availability of powerful mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, enables the location-independent use of augmented reality (AR) technology for various application areas with considerable added value. For example, AR experiences can be used to support students in laboratory courses during experiment preparation and execution to ensure a safe process and significantly improve the learning success. In addition, digital learning success controls can be realized with the extension of a database connection. In this paper, an AR-experience for the experiment of standing transverse and longitudinal waves is developed for the laboratory course of experimental physics. Finally, the effectiveness is tested with an evaluation by the students.

Mixed reality prototyping: a framework to characterise simultaneous physical/virtual prototyping

“…While the merging of physical and digital into a single interface is well-studied, the recent maturation of MR-capable technologies has enabled their application in domains ranging from education (Hallmann et al, 2023), to architecture (Kim and Hyun, 2022), to design (Verlinden and Horváth, 2009). Several works have highlighted the importance of the viewing interface for design performance (Berni et al, 2023;Horvat et al, 2022;Nandy et al, 2023) noting differences when using XR compared to traditional modes.…”
