Mobile augmented reality to support basic education in Mexico

1. Mobile augmented reality to support basic
education in Mexico
 Celso Juárez, Pedro Santana and Martha Magaña

2. Introduction
 Support Mexican secondary education
to improve the students textbooks
 Better understanding
 Bring technology to the ordinary classroom
(beyond the computing laboratory)

3.  So,
we went into a
secondary school for a
case study

4. Gathering preliminary context
 Interviews in a public secondary
school
 Knowledge about mobile phones and how
they use them
 Subjects: 30, ten for every grade,
randomly selected.

7. Envisioned system
 Support different devices
 Android
 Easy of use
 Usability tests

8. Technical stuff

9. Prototype (3D model)

10. Prototype (video)

12. Usability testing (post workshop submission)
 5 participants (pilot test)
 2 females
 3 males
 Average of 12 years old
