What is
V
irtual
R
eality or
VR
???
Computer-simulated environments that can simulate physical presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds. Virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.
What is
A
ugmented
R
eality or
AR
???
A live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input, such as sound or graphics or GPS. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.
THE PAST…

History of AR
• • Began in 1957 by Morton Heilig
Cinematographer who added visuals, sound, vibration, and smell to movies
1966 – First Head-Mounted Display (HMD) – Ivan Sutherland 1975 – Videoplace virtual object interaction – Myron Krueger 1977 – Star Wars AR in Star Wars in 1977 1990 - Thomas Caudell of Boeing Corporation coined the phrase AR 1992 – First functional AR system (Virtual Fixtures) created (L.B. Rosenberg) 1994 – First AR theater production, Dancing in Cyberspace 1998 – AR first introduced in education (University of North Carolina) 2000 – First mobile AR game, ARQuake – Bruce Thomas 2008 – AR travel guide launched 2009 – AR Toolkit brought AR to the web browser 2011 – AR apps available for mobile devices

AR Field Trips
AR Field Trips
Field trips have been an important part of education for many years. Unfortunately, rising costs and falling revenues have caused many schools to eliminate “extra” expenditures, such as field trips.
(Klemm, & Tuthill, 2003)
Using AR, schools can either boost the educational value of actual field trips or provide a digital alternative when an authentic field trip is not possible. AR provides the opportunity for students to be immersed in the learning experience from within a culturally-relevant perspective. This makes learning educationally and personally relevant to the student.
(Blase, 2007)
AR provides the opportunity for narrative mapping, where events that have occurred over time are shown in a way that examines how the occurrences overlap and influence one another. For example, the shifting battlefronts at Gettysburg can be displayed in a way that shows the interaction among the troops.
Because AR is computer and technologically driven, it is possible to explore places that are inaccessible to students, such as locations in space or on the ocean floor.
(Kitalong, Moody, Middlebrook, & Ancheta, 2009)
Participatory Simulations
• Real-life environment • Practical skills can be mastered • Mistakes can be made • Sounds can be created • Algorithms can be managed • Direct patient to provider interaction

Digital Object Manipulation
VIDEO The use of augmented reality tools where virtual objects such as tables and graphs can be displayed and be interacted with in real scenes created from imaging devices. This digital object manipulation has the potential to facilitate the opening up of new learning spaces within interdisciplinary core academic domains.
(Guven, 2003)
Academic Domains Include:
• Basic science • Physics • Mathematics • Biology/physiology • Biomechanics • Sports science • Physical education
Chris Dede, professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education, on technology and education believes the greatest challenge facing educators is empowering students to master such 21 st Century skills as “understanding and resolving complex, novel situations…producing knowledge by filtering and synthesizing information.” He asserts that immersive, situated learning such as augmented learning can effectively engage students in critical thinking to prepare them for the future.
(Thatcher, 2005)
Augmented Reality by Hitlab HITLAB VIDEO
A national initiative in Singapore, funded by the national Research foundation has made the development of such tools affordable and mobile so that they can be used to scaffold learning. A.R. technology tools can facilitate inquiry based experiential and authentic learning in mainstream schools.
(Ong, 2010)
Most of the research shows that the virtual learning environment help to achieve higher learning results. The analysis of the research data shows that pupils’ achievement after use of ARTP (Augmented Reality Technology) significantly improved while completing some tasks.
(Vilkoniene, 2009)

Social Interaction in Distance Learning
Augmented Learning Environments
“One of the most important purposes of an educational environment is to promote social interaction among users located in the same physical space.”
(Kaufmann, 2003, p. 1)
“Due to advances in pedagogical concepts, technology, and a simultaneous decline in hardware costs, the use of small-scale AR systems could become feasible for educational institutions within this decade.”
(Kaufmann, 2003, p. 4)
Challenges within augmented learning environments (SL) include: understanding oneself, preparing students, proper technology, developing instructional components, and creating a safe, predator-free environment.
(O’Connor & Sakshaug, 2009)
Group Awareness Tools
“Group awareness…is the knowledge and perception of who is there, where other persons are located, where they are looking, and what they are doing.”
(Buder & Bodemer, 2008, p. 124)
Buder’s & Bodemer’s experimental study showed that, “groups using an augmented group awareness tool showed higher performance in terms of group decision and individual correctness than unsupported groups.”
(Buder & Bodemer, 2008, p. 135)
Augmented Lectures
Allows for rich, private communication between the teacher and student without the rest of the classroom noticing the communication.
(Zarraonandia, et al., 2011)
Tangible Augmented Reality (TAR)
The 3-D virtualization of objects that can be collaborated and manipulated by teachers and students in a shared AR environment.
This allows the remotely located student to interactively and collaboratively participate in the AR based study environment and acquire knowledge in a natural and intuitive manner.
(Li, 2010)
3-D Live & AR Magic Land 3-D Live and Magic Land are technologies for capturing a person and, at the same time, displaying his/her 3-D images in a mixed-reality environment in real time.
• • • Reasons for AR technology in distance education: Support of seamless interaction between real and virtual environments Use of a tangible interface metaphor for object manipulation Ability to switch smoothly between reality and virtuality Interactivity…promises physical and sensor, in addition to mental, activity and response.
(Liu, et al., 2009)
AR MagicMeeting (3-D Collaboration)
The MagicMeeting system presented is a collaborative AR system designed to support a scenario where a group of people meet to discuss the design of a product.
MagicMeeting is looking to replace the HMD based approach with a projection-based system.
(Regenbrecht, Wagner, & Baratoff, 2002)
Student Engagement
One concerned parent…
“I can’t believe you let students access the Internet without even talking to us parents about it. I don’t see why they need to be online. We didn’t have these things when we were in school and we got a good education. Kids are just wasting their time online on websites like MySpace and schools are doing nothing about it. How about you use the taxpayer money you waste on expensive computers to fix up the schools or pay the teachers more?” Reeve (2011)
