The EmbodySuit augmented human system allows students to experience life from the perspectives of different organisms, by virtually and physically becoming birds, spiders, ants and even bacteria. Inspired by current advances in nanorobotics, Star Trek's ...

Physical objects and virtual information are used as teaching aids in classrooms everywhere, and until recently, merging these two worlds has been difficult at best. Augmented reality offers the combination of physical and virtual, drawing on the ...

In this paper, we present our research on social interaction in co-located handheld augmented reality (AR) games. These games are characterized by shared physical spaces that promote physical awareness among players, and individual gaming devices that ...

Augmented reality (AR) can have a positive impact on students' motivation and cognitive performance in varied age levels and different contexts. However, its use is still far from widespread in education. One of the reasons mentioned in the ...

Learning physics is often difficult for students because concepts such as electricity, magnetism and sound, cannot be seen with the naked eye. Emerging technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) can transform education by making challenging concepts ...

We present a mixed-reality system for remote collaborations, where collaborators can discuss, explore, create and learn about 3D physical objects. The system combines Hololens augmented reality, 3D Kinect cameras, PC and virtual reality interfaces, into ...

In this paper we contribute a literature review and organization framework for classifying the collaboration needs and features that should be considered when designing headset-based augmented reality (AR) experiences for collocated settings. In recent ...

Augmented reality (AR) applications are growing in popularity in educational settings. While the effects of AR experiences on learning have been widely studied, there is relatively less research on understanding the impact of AR on the dynamics of co-...

In this paper we explore how Kinect body posture sensors can be used to detect group collaboration and learning, in the context of dyad pairs using augmented reality system. We leverage data collected during a study (N = 60 dyads) where ...

In this SIG, we aim at gathering researchers and practitioners to reflect on using XR technologies to support collaborative learning and co-creation, and to foster a joint force by connecting the Learning and Education community and the XR community at ...

EmotoTent is an interactive socio-emotional learning system developed in response to escalating levels of violence, inequality and marginalization in schools seen in the early 21st Century. The system is inspired by advances in biosensing wearables, ...

Emerging technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), have the potential to radically transform education by making challenging concepts visible and accessible to novices. In this project, we have designed a Hololens-based system in which collaborators ...

Handheld augmented reality (AR) is a unique medium that can be helpful for young children's entertainment and education, but to achieve the benefits of this technology, experiences need to be appropriately designed for young children's developing ...

Augmented reality technology is a unique medium that can be helpful for young children's entertainment and education, but in order to achieve the benefits of this technology, augmented reality experiences need to be appropriately designed for young ...

Cyberchase Shape Quest is an augmented reality math app from PBS KIDS and THIRTEEN that exposes elementary-school children to three-dimensional immersive puzzle worlds, teaching geometry and engaging spatial cognition skills through the use of augmented ...

Augmented reality (AR) is an educational medium increasingly accessible to young users such as elementary school and high school students. Although previous research has shown that AR systems have the potential to improve student learning, the ...

In this paper we present our experience of eliciting metaphors through the process of game design with children. For the purpose of determining a set of user interactions desired in children's augmented-reality experiences, we have conducted a study in ...

Augmented reality is increasingly reaching young users such as elementary-school and high-school children, as their parents and teachers become aware of the technology and its potential for education. Although research has shown that AR systems have the ...

Augmented reality (AR) designers have great potential to enrich children's lives through AR experiences in education and entertainment. A significant difficulty in designing for children is that tremendous physical and cognitive development occurs ...

We are proud to present the ISMAR 2012 Demonstrations Program. Research in Mixed and Augmented Reality is expanding into broad and diverse horizons. This year's demonstrations touch on a wide variety of topics, from marketing to education to public ...
