“…The main advantages of using virtual objects are that they can be animated, respond to user actions, and are not constrained by the costs, time, and practical or physical limitations of real objects. These factors make AR a powerful tool in astronomy education [4], [5].…”

Abstract-Observational-based learning (OBL) can improve learners' understanding of astronomical phenomena, such as the lunar phases or solar diurnal motion. This paper introduces the multi-viewpoint smartphone AR-based (M-VSAR) learning system for constructing an OBL environment for astronomical observation. We apply this concept to two learning systems: a solar observation system and a lunar observation system. We illustrate how an M-VSAR system can enhance a learner's interest in and learning of astronomical phenomena.

“…Although there are many researches that proved that the use of the AR technology is suitable for education [16,18,22,32,46], but the authoring tool available which enables one to develop the AR application is difficult to learn and use because it involve C programming [47][48], Flash or Java. According to the findings of this study (Table 4, Table 5 and Table 6), these skills are very low among teachers.…”

Abstract. This preliminary study is intended to obtain the background of basic ICT skill required for teachers to develop the Augmented Reality (AR) application using available AR authoring tool. The AR technology enables the virtual world to be in real world concurrently. These features have been identified to be able to accommodate the learning experience in order to promote learning. The samples are comprised of nine AR application developers and forty four teachers. Interview schedule, questionnaire and demonstration are used to collect data. The findings revealed that teachers have low technical skills in order to develop the AR application using available authoring tool according to the requirement listed by the AR application developer. This indicates that there is a need to develop the AR authoring tool which is easy to use in the perspective of teachers. It shows that it is difficult for them to develop their own AR application because of the technical skill required, although they are very interested in the technology and agreed that the technology can help to enhance the students' cognitive process.

“…The benefits of using AR include the fact that virtual objects in AR view can be showed and can respond interactively to user actions, and that the virtual information or objects in AR view can overcome the limitations of location, time, and any other environment restrictions that can apply to real objects. Due to these merits, AR is becoming an effective educational technology [13]. Nowadays, most smartphones and tablets that have been equipped with GPS, compass, accelerometer, onboard sensors, etc.…”

Real-World Oriented Smartphone AR Supported Learning System Based on Planetarium Contents for Seasonal Constellation Observation

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A popular astronomical concept covered by projection learning programs in the planetarium is seasonal constellation. However, a planetarium’s learning environment is limited to virtual scenes, where learners can observe seasonal constellations, but there is a significant difference between reality and the learners’ imagination regarding constellations. It is important to create a real-world oriented observation learning environment for observing seasonal constellations. Augmented reality has proved to be a powerful tool for astronomical observation learning. In this paper, augmented reality (AR) contents and 2D contents are used to develop a smartphone-based learning system called the Real-World Oriented Smartphone AR Learning System (R-WOSARLS) for seasonal constellation observation, which is based on the planetarium contents of the planetarium of the Nagoya City Science Museum, for seasonal constellation learning. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the usefulness, usability, and learner satisfaction of our system in university and junior high school, respectively. The results show that R-WOSARLS is an effective learning tool for constellation observation and learning, and it enhances learners’ motivation to pursue seasonal constellation learning. Moreover, R-WOSARLS could be a teaching tool not only to help students learn more than with traditional instruction, but also to stimulate their interest in astronomical phenomena outside of school.
