| Description | This paper proposes the use of augmented reality (AR) interfaces for the construction of educational applications that can be used in practice to enhance current teaching methods as well as for the delivery of lecture material. The interactive AR interface has been piloted in the classroom at an undergraduate module of a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Games Technology at Coventry University, UK. An initial evaluation was performed with fifteen students and qualitative feedback was recorded. Results indicate that the adoption of AR technology is not only a promising and stimulating tool for learning computer graphics, but it can also be incredibly effective when used in parallel with more traditional teaching methods. |
