“…One of the main objectives of the present study is performed within the context of the use of AR in architecture and urban design instruction to improve students' spatial comprehension, a topic that few studies have investigated (Broll et al, 2004;Malawi & Srinivasan, 2004;Piekarski & Thomas, 2001;Tonn, Petzold, Bimber, Grundhöfer, & Donath, 2008). The integration must be accurate and at the right scale to achieve the hypothetical situation and size matching in an actual scene.…”

The main focus of this study was the inclusion of informal methods in the educational frameworks of architectural and urban design. The project used is based on the 3D representation of virtual models of new urban proposals in order to re-organize a local market in Tonalá, Mexico. Starting from a formal course, where the students had to develop solutions to real architecture and urban problems, a second phase was designed, based on feedback in an informal environment by the end-users (citizens and professionals). The key objectives of the experiment were to show students to connect and receive feedback through technology, evaluate how these interactions can define new informal ways of learning, and discuss how this informal data can be incorporated into an academic curriculum. The results confirm how the informal interaction constitutes a great contribution in the improvement of student's skills, even considering that the incorporation of informal data into their evaluation still remains challenging.

“…In particular we consider the game Quake (idSoftware). As with other researchers [5], we wish to place these applications in a spatial context with the physical world, which we achieve by employing our wearable computer system Tinmith [6][7][8]. Tinmith is a context-aware wearable computer system, allowing applications to sense the position of the user's body and the orientation of the user's head.…”

This paper presents a first person outdoor/indoor augmented reality application ARQuake that we have developed. ARQuake is an extension of the desktop game Quake, and as such we are investigating how to convert a desktop first person application into an outdoor/indoor mobile augmented reality application. We present an architecture for a low cost, moderately accurate six degrees of freedom tracking system based on GPS, digital compass, and fiducial vision-based tracking. Usability issues such as monster selection, colour, input devices, and multi-person collaboration are discussed.

Abstract. This paper describes our work in developing the human-computer interface of an augmented reality (AR) system that has been designed to facilitate the accurate selection of real world locations in 3D space using 3D cursors. We detail the results of an experiment undertaken to highlight the benefit of certain features integrated into the design of a 3D cursor and the interface employed to manipulate the cursor. We conclude that object selection is aided by adding additional synthetic depth cues to the cursor and also by using constraints on the number of degrees of freedom exhibited by the cursor.
