“…The designed application helps to locate faulty sensors and keep track of data accuracy. Ferrer et al 83 compared user perception of two approaches to temperature data visualization in tangible augmented reality on mobile phones: (i) the current particle-based visualization and (ii) novel virtual human-based visualizations. Visualizing the Likert scale using horizontal diverging stacked bar charts is an excellent method to see how the participants respond to questions or statements on a survey or questionnaire.…”

In recent times, visual analytics systems (VAS) have been used to solve various complex issues in diverse application domains. Nonetheless, an inherent drawback arises from the insufficient evaluation of VAS, resulting in occasional inaccuracies when it comes to analytical reasoning, information synthesis, and deriving insights from vast, ever-changing, ambiguous, and frequently contradictory data. Hence, the significance of implementing an appropriate evaluation methodology cannot be overstated, as it plays a pivotal role in enhancing the design and development of visualization systems. This paper assesses visualization systems by providing a systematic exploration of various evaluation strategies (ES). While several existing studies have examined some ES, the extent of comprehensive and systematic review for visualization research remains limited. In this work, we introduce seven state-of-the-art and widely recognized ES namely (1) dashboard comparison; (2) insight-based evaluation; (3) log data analysis; (4) Likert scales; (5) qualitative and quantitative analysis; (6) Nielsen’s heuristics; and (7) eye trackers. Moreover, it delves into their historical context and explores numerous applications where these ES have been employed, shedding light on the associated evaluation practices. Through our comprehensive review, we overview and analyze the predominant evaluation goals within the visualization community, elucidating their evolution and the inherent contrasts. Additionally, we identify the open challenges that arise with the emergence of new ES, while also highlighting the key themes gleaned from the existing literature that hold potential for further exploration in future studies.

“…Their findings are: a one-marker design with a touchscreen interface may have a usability advantage over a touchscreen-tangible hybrid design for AR serious games, in some cases, a one-marker AR design may have increased learning benefits over a multimarker design, and despite decreased usability, AR serious games can enhance motivation to learn over desktop interfaces. The same authors [39] extended their existing educational simulation AR-SEE to include virtual human inhabitants. The results showed that virtual human visualization of temperature data enabled higher motivation than the particle visualization for learning in the tangible AR environment.…”

This paper reviews the literature and analyzes the research topics on the use of augmented reality technology in education with possible integration of game elements, in order to obtain a synthesis of previous knowledge related to the topic in the period from 2010 to 2020. Fifty-two papers describing different aspects of augmented reality used in the field of education were selected for the analysis. The main conclusions of the systematization and synthesis were: a) five basic thematic categories were identified; b) 2019 was recognized as the year with the largest publication of papers; c) the use of augmented reality in teaching activities, and especially with game elements, improves student efficiency, stimulates attention and interest, brings improvements in collaboration and perception of fun, improves teaching and learning processes and in general encourages innovation and improvement through educational technology.

The interaction paradigm has changed with the emerging technology, mobile augmented reality, and spatial awareness mobile device. The traditional way for designing a kitchen can cause mistake in measurement and user's imagination is different from kitchen advisor's sketch design due to limitation of human imagination. Using mobile augmented reality technology, the user can overlay the virtual kitchen outcome that could fit with the actual kitchen environment. Interaction technique is required in order to allow the user to change the characteristic of the virtual kitchen to suite their need. Thus, this paper is intended to propose the tangible and spatial awareness interaction techniques in the kitchen design authoring tool. A scoping review related to the previous research on tangible and spatial awareness interaction is presented in this paper. The proposed techniques were based on the review on the existing interaction technique and the interview section with the Malaysian kitchen designer by understanding the kitchen design elements and flow. The proposed techniques will be further improved by going through the heuristic evaluation with the augmented reality expert.
