AR in Education
The document discusses augmented reality (AR) and its potential applications in education. It provides an overview of AR, including definitions and examples. The history of AR is explored, from early prototypes in the 1960s-70s to recent consumer adoption on mobile devices. Educational uses of AR are examined, such as visualizing concepts spatially and improving understanding of real environments. The document demonstrates an AR authoring tool called Envisage that allows users to create AR scenes. Future research directions are also outlined, such as improved displays, interaction methods, and educational experiences using AR.

- 48. HANDS ON WITHENVISAGE
- 49. Envisage AR Just likehow you can use PowerPoint to create multimedia slideshows, you can use Envisage AR to create augmented reality experiences. Bring together your own markers, 3D models, sounds, images, and text to create your own story. From https://envisage-ar.com/shop/ Image Sound 3D Text Abc Marker

- 52. Adding Markers 4. Click“OK” to add the marker 1. Click the “Add Marker” button on the toolbar 2. Click “Browse” 3. Select the pattern file 1 2 3 4
- 53. Adding Markers 2 Wenow have a tracked marker we can add things to… Notice the grid?
- 54. Adding 3D Models 1. Rightclick on the newly added marker in the scene tree 2. Select “Add 3D Model” 3. A blue cube appears on the marker
- 55. Adding 3D Models2 1. Double-click on the new item in the scene tree 2. Select a model file 3. The blue cube is replaced by the new model 1 2 3
- 56. Adjusting Models Now wewant to adjust the model. We can change its: - Position: Where it is in relation to the marker - Rotation: Which way it is facing - Scale: How big it is Click on the model to select it. A set of three arrows appears. This is the adjustment tool (widget)
- 57. Adjusting Models 2 Thetool has three modes you can select from the toolbar: Translation Rotation Scale To translate the model, drag the axis pointing in the direction you want to go.
- 58. Adjusting Models 3 Torotate the model, click and drag around one of the axes To scale the model, click and drag one of the axes, or on the yellow box.
- 59. Adding Other Things Inaddition to 3D models, you can also add: - Images - Text - Simple 3D objects (“primitives”) - Sounds
- 60. Images When you addan image, you can select a picture file. e.g. JPG, PNG, BMP It will show up as a rectangle with the picture on it. You can move the rectangle around in the same way as a 3D model.
- 61. Text You can addtext and chose what it says. You can move the text around in the same way as a 3D model.
- 62. Primitive Shapes You canadd simple shapes, like a box, sphere, or cylinder. You can move the shape around in the same way as a 3D model.
- 63. Sounds When you adda sound, you can select a Wave file. i.e. WAV You can move the speaker around in the same way as a 3D model, to make it sound like it comes from a certain place.
- 64. Training Markers 1. Clickthe “Marker Training” button on the toolbar 2. Hold your marker up to the camera so you can see the red-green outline 1 3. Click the mouse button 4. Give the marker a filename and save it (“pattern file”) 5. Click the “Marker Training” button again to exit training mode 2 3 4 6
- 65. Tracking Markers You canmake your own markers by drawing inside the provided black frames. For your designs to work, they must be: - Bold: avoid fine detail - Different from each other: the computer has to tell them apart - Different from all sides: the computer has to tell which way is up
