“…One could argue that just by collaborating, social skills are endorsed and relationships are supported. Some games, for example, BloxAR [ 64 ], a social game in which teams compete to build AR block structures, use this concept. As we had to balance resources and breadth of inclusion, for this review, we focused on applications that focused on improving social skills in a transferable manner.…”

Background Augmented reality (AR) has emerged as a promising technology in educational settings owing to its engaging nature. However, apart from applications aimed at the autism spectrum disorder population, the potential of AR in social-emotional learning has received less attention. Objective This scoping review aims to map the range of AR applications that improve social skills and map the characteristics of such applications. Methods In total, 2 independent researchers screened 2748 records derived from 3 databases in December 2021—PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and ACM Guide to Computing Literature. In addition, the reference lists of all the included records and existing reviews were screened. Records that had developed a prototype with the main outcome of improving social skills were included in the scoping review. Included records were narratively described for their content regarding AR and social skills, their target populations, and their outcomes. Evaluation studies were assessed for methodological quality. Results A total of 17 records met the inclusion criteria for this study. Overall, 10 records describe applications for children with autism, primarily teaching about reading emotions in facial expressions; 7 records describe applications for a general population, targeting both children and adults, with a diverse range of outcome goals. The methodological quality of evaluation studies was found to be weak. Conclusions Most applications are designed to be used alone, although AR is well suited to facilitating real-world interactions during a digital experience, including interactions with other people. Therefore, future AR applications could endorse social skills in a general population in more complex group settings.

In this paper we present Vancouver Maneuver, a game for mobile devices using Augmented Reality software to create a cooperative board game experience. Utilizing principles from both digital and analogue board game design, a hybrid game design approach is proposed in order to identify applicable mechanics. By doing so we combine the physical and social aspects of co-located tabletop gaming with the computing power and aesthetics of digital games.

League of Lasers is a motion-based game where two teams compete in a mix between football and Pong [2]. Players use 'virtual mirrors' to try to guide a laser pulse towards the opponent team's target.The game aims at stimulating interaction between players by making cooperation a vital part of the gameplay, while having them physically move near each other. The game tracks the physical movement of players as the main control actions. A demonstration trailer can be found here: https://goo.gl/v7mu6k CCS CONCEPTS• Applied computing → Computer games;
