This study focuses on the application of augmented reality (AR) to electronic practice and its impact on the success of student. The developed application in this study has a recognition‐based system structure. The Unity3D platform and the Vuforia AR software development kit are used to perform the application. Flowcharts have been prepared for each electronic experiment and the audio files and the texts to be displayed on the screen have been used to improve interaction with the user. To test the effect of AR application on student success, an experimental study was also conducted on two groups of students (control group [non‐using AR] and test group [using AR]). The data obtained from the experimental study have been analyzed using independent sample t test. According to t‐test result at 95% confidence level, the probability value p = .002113432 < .05 for the use of AR is found. These results show that the use of AR in electronic practice makes a significant difference in student success.

“…Unity3D is a development environment with variable contents that are suitable for creating 3D content. By using the ready‐to‐use sets and intuitive workspace, it allows application developers to save time [14]. One of the reasons why Unity3D is preferred is that it includes an intuitive graphical environment [28].…”

“…A smartphone is a small computer that is fully equipped with a variety of devices such as GPS, wireless internet, Bluetooth, high resolution video camera, accelerometers, gyroscopes, digital compass, barometer, proximity sensors, and other components. Due to hardware features, the smartphones have emerged as potential platforms for implementing mobile AR and VR (Kim et al, 2014). The user is acquainted with the use of a smartphone as a tool for its daily tasks.…”

Abstract:The usage of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies began to grow when smartphones appeared. Until then, the number of portable devices capable of incorporating these technologies was reduced. Video games are the main field where these technologies are applied, but in other fields such as in archaeology, these technologies can offer many advantages. Ruins reconstruction, ancient life simulation, highly detailed 3D models visualisation of valuable objects from the past or even user free movement in missing places are just some examples found in literature. This paper reviews the latest visualisation technologies and their applicability to the rock art field. The main purpose is to disseminate rock art paintings through AR and VR applications. After the image-based three-dimensional (3D) modelling is obtained, an interactive visit to a shelter for displaying rock art paintings is presented. This is one of examples developed in this paper that pretends to apply the revised AR and VR techniques. In addition, an example of AR is developed that can be easily adapted to further applications displaying rock art paintings.Key words: augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D reconstruction, cultural heritage, Oculus Rift, Unity, rock art paintings Resumen:El uso de las tecnologías de realidad virtual (RV) y realidad aumentada (RA) comenzó a crecer con la aparición de los teléfonos inteligentes. Hasta entonces, había pocos dispositivos portátiles capaces de incorporar estas tecnologías. Principalmente estas tecnologías se aplican en la creación de videojuegos, aunque en otros campos como la arqueología, estas tecnologías tienen mucho que ofrecer. Con estas tecnologías es posible mostrar la reconstrucción de ruinas, la simulación de otra época, modelos 3D altamente detallados de objetos de valor del pasado o incluso trasladar al usuario a lugares que ya no existen.Este trabajo presenta una revisión de las últimas tecnologías de visualización y su aplicabilidad en el campo del arte rupestre, con el objetivo de divulgar las pinturas rupestres a través de aplicaciones de RA y RV. Después del modelado 3D basado en imágenes, se presenta una visita interactiva a un refugio para la visualización de las pinturas rupestres. Este es uno de los ejemplos desarrollados en este trabajo que pretende aplicar las técnicas revisadas de RA y RV. Además, se detalla un sencillo ejemplo de RA que puede fácilmente adaptarse a otras aplicaciones que muestren pinturas rupestres.

“…Algunos ejemplos de aplicación en medicina se pueden encontrar en (Bernhardt et al 2017;Fischer et al 2007). Decir que aunque esta tecnología se aplica principalmente en el ámbito de los videojuegos (Kim et al 2014;Kwik and Bahana 2015) también se emplea para la elaboración de material didáctico interactivo (Jamali et al 2015).…”

Abstract:Rock art of the Mediterranean Basin of the Iberian Peninsula was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it has an outstanding cultural value hence its dissemination is essential. Over the years, rock art paintings have been deteriorated and even some have disappeared. Consequently, it is quite difficult to recognise them in situ without experts. At this point, non-invasive and novel techniques can offer great potential, on the one hand, avoiding direct contact with the surface promoting its conservation, and on the other hand, through dissemination and analysis of these elements. One of the most promising techniques is Augmented Reality (AR). By means of AR applications, the visitor can see any kind of virtual content related to cultural heritage, through its mobile or tablet screen. Thus, any virtual content that is considered of interest can be added, offering in this way additional information that complements the real element.In this study, two approaches are presented for the rock art dissemination of the Cova dels Cavalls. The first is based on a marker recognition, which launches the application that displays an image of the motif and a descriptive text about it. In the second proposal, the camera device recognises the real image of the painting and the virtual information is overlapped. The study aims at evaluating the use of these AR techniques applied to rock art dissemination and shows the methodology for its development.Key words: Augmented Reality, Rock Art, Dissemination, Unity, ARToolkit, Mobile Applications Resumen:El Arte rupestre del arco mediterráneo de la Península Ibérica declarado Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO, tiene un gran valor cultural por lo que su difusión resulta esencial. Con el paso de los años, las pinturas se han ido deteriorando e incluso algunas han desaparecido. Es por ello que resulta muy difícil reconocerlas en los yacimientos sin la ayuda de expertos. Es en este punto en el que las técnicas no invasivas y más novedosas pueden ofrecer un gran potencial, no solo a la hora de evitar el contacto directo con la superficie fomentando así su conservación, sinó también por la difusión y análisis de estos elementos. Una de las técnicas más prometedoras en este sentido es la Realidad Aumentada (RA) ya que, gracias a ella, el visitante puede ver cualquier tipo de contenido virtual relacionado con el patrimonio, a través de la pantalla de su móvil o tableta. Así, todo contenido virtual que se considere de interés puede ser añadido, ofreciendo de esta manera información adicional que complementa al elemento real.En este estudio se presentan dos propuestas de RA planteadas para la difusión de las pinturas rupestres de la Cova dels Cavalls. La primera está basada en el reconocimiento de un marcador, el cual activa la aplicación mostrando al visitante la imagen 2D de uno de los motivos y un texto descriptivo del mismo. En la segunda propuesta, la cámara del dispositivo reconoce la imagen real de la pintura rupestre y superpone la información virtual. Con este estudio se preten...
