“…In their recent work, Munoz et al [41] presented a framework for developing an AR-based mobile application to assess human spatial short-term memory. In [42], Caluya et al studied the impact of the spatial memory training framework on short-and long-term memory when conducted in AR and VR environments.…”

Augmented reality (AR) offers novel ways to design, curate, and deliver information to users by integrating virtual, computer-generated objects into a real-world environment. This work presents an AR-based human memory augmentation system that uses computer vision (CV) and artificial intelligence (AI) to replace the internal mental representation of objects in the environment with an external augmented representation. The system consists of two components: (1) an AR headset and (2) a computing station. The AR headset runs an application that senses the indoor environment, sends data to the computing station for processing, receives the processed data, and updates the external representation of objects using a virtual 3D object projected into the real environment in front of the user's eyes. The computing station performs computer vision-based indoor environment self-localization, object detection, and object-tolocation binding using first-person view (FPV) data received from the AR headset. We designed a behavioral study to evaluate the usability of the system. In a pilot study with 26 participants (12 females and 14 males), we investigated human performance in an experimental task that involved remembering the positions of objects in a physical space and displaying the positions of the learned objects on the two-dimensional (2D) map of the space. We conducted the studies under two conditions-that is, with and without using the AR system. We investigated the usability of the system, subjective workload, and performance variables under both conditions. The results showed that the AR-based augmentation of the mental representation of objects indoors reduced cognitive load and increased performance accuracy.

“…A comparison of the effect of VR and AR spatial memory training on short-term and long-term memory, has shown that, even if VR outperforms AR in the immediate posttraining test, AR is better suitable for long-term spatial memory transfer [57]. Nonetheless, physical displacements have been shown to be important in acquiring spatial ability skills [58].…”

“…Immediate feedback after actions can also be useful, as it could help the users knowing when they succeeded or failed and why, recognizing their errors, recovering strategies, reducing their frustration and increasing their motivation. To this purpose, multimodal feedback are often provided, through congratulation messages, hints or events, like objects disappearing if correctly selected or sounds of clapping hands to highlight the correctness of a given answer [4]- [6], [13], [20], [41], [43], [50], [57], [59], [106], [112], [125], [133], [162], [208], [210]- [212]. Finally, since the benefits of cognitive training might only be noticed in the long term, healthy competition is greatly appreciated as it can positively affect patients psychological well-being and promote social networking.…”

In the natural science curriculum, chemistry is a very important domain. However, when conducting chemistry experiments, safety issues need to be taken seriously, and excessive material waste may be caused during the experiment. Based on the 11-year-old student science curriculum, this paper proposed a virtual chemistry laboratory, which was designed by combining a virtual experiment application with physical teaching materials. The virtual experiment application was a virtual experiment laboratory environment created by using selected experimental equipment cards in combination with augmented reality (AR) technology. The physical teaching materials included all virtual equipment required for experiment units. Each piece of equipment had corresponding cards for learners to choose from and utilize in specific experimental operations. It was hoped that students were able to achieve the desired learning effectiveness of experimental teaching while reducing the waste of experimental materials through the virtual experimental environment. This study employed the quasi-experimental and questionnaire survey methods to evaluate both learning effectiveness and learning motivation. Eighty-one students and eight elementary school teachers were surveyed as research subjects. The experimental results revealed that significant differences in learning effectiveness existed between the experimental group and control group, indicating that the application of AR technology to teaching substantively helped enhance students’ learning effectiveness and motivation. In addition, the results of the teacher questionnaire demonstrated that the virtual chemistry laboratory proposed in this study could effectively assist with classroom teaching.
