The Methodology of Using Augmented Reality Technology in the Training of Future Computer Science Teachers

Abstract

The paper describes the concept of augmented reality. Based on literature analysis, the authors claim that augmented reality technology enriches human experiences with digital data. The introduction of augmented reality applications and services provides an opportunity to increase the realism of research, while also offering an enhanced emotional and cognitive experience. Therefore, it can be an effective tool for the organization of learning in schools, colleges and universities.Augmented reality technologies can be interesting as an object of study as well. To do this, scientists need to design, develop and test appropriate methodologies.This paper explores one of the components of such techniques. The authors analysed several platforms for creating augmented reality applications. Unity, Vuforia and 3d-Studio were chosen for the purpose of analysis. Using them, the authors developed a fragment of the content of education. It contains instructionsfor creating an augmented reality application. The paper contains the author’s account of the process of training future teachers of computer science at Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University (Ukraine). Based on the conducted study, the authors claim that students showed considerable interest in augmented reality technologies and the content of their training.

Teachers’ Professional Training through Augmented Reality: A Literature Review

“…Recent empirical research reinforces the importance of the use of AR in initial teacher training, allowing the development of digital skills for teachers to use AR in their pedagogical practice [135]. In this sense, it is advisable to promote the use of emerging pedagogies before the use of these emerging technologies [136][137][138]. Institutional Review Board Statement: Not applicable.…”

A framework to implement augmented reality based on BIM to improve operation and maintenance of mechanical facilities of commercial complexes

“…Once the 3D model with an FBX format had been incorporated, an animation movie was developed after C# programming. The animation movie could be converted into AR and the integration of VR and reality by Vuforia (Balyk et al , 2021). To observe the AR of a device, the technician needs to open the AR application.…”

Development of holographic printed HOE recording technology with VHG-based FOV analysis for waveguide-type NED system

“…In particular, in the field of research on the development of optical devices, a lot of research is being conducted in the AR display field [1,2]. There have been significant improvements in the optics of AR and neareye displays [3]. Enhanced display resolutions, wider field of view (FOV), and improved image quality have resulted in more immersive and realistic AR experiences.…”
