Mobile augmented reality applications are gaining prominence in education, but there is a need to design appropriate and enjoyable games to be used in educational contexts such as classrooms. This paper presents an interactive information system designed to support the implementation of an augmented reality application in the context of game-based learning. PlanetarySystemGO includes a location-based mobile augmented reality game designed to promote learning about the celestial bodies and planetary systems of the Universe, and a web application that interacts with the mobile device application. Besides face-to-face classes, this resource can also be used in online classes, which is very useful in social isolation situations as the ones caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, it is the inclusion of the web application, with a back-office, in the information system that makes it possible to include curricula contents according to the grade level of students. Moreover, it is intended that teachers use the information system to include the contents they find appropriate to the grade level they teach. Therefore, it is crucial to provide their professional development to be able to use this resource. In this regard, a pilot study was conducted with teachers who participated in a STEM professional development programme in order to assess if the system is appropriate to be used by them. It is concluded that teachers found this resource relevant to motivate students to learn, and also acknowledged that the web application facilitated the introduction of appropriate curricula contents and also was useful to assess student performance during the game. Teachers need support, however, to implement these types of technologies which are not familiar to them. The necessary support can be provided through collaboration among the researchers and teachers in their schools. Besides engaging students to learn about celestial bodies, it is concluded that the information system can be used by teachers to introduce appropriate curricula contents and to be implemented in class.

Pediatric Healthcare

Augmented Reality (AR) provides an alternative to the traditional forms of interaction between humans and machines, and facilitates the access to certain technologies to groups of people with special needs like children. For instance, in pediatric healthcare, it is important to help children to feel comfortable during medical procedures and tests that may be performed on them. To tackle such an issue with the help of AR-based solutions, this article presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a novel open-source collaborative framework that enables to develop teaching, training, and monitoring pediatric healthcare applications. Specifically, such a framework allows for building collaborative applications and shared experiences for AR devices, providing functionalities for connecting with other AR devices and enabling real-time visualization and simultaneous interaction with virtual objects. Since all the communications involved in AR interactions are handled by AR devices, the proposed collaborative framework is able to operate autonomously through a Local Area Network (LAN), thus requiring no cloud or external servers. In order to demonstrate the potential of the proposed framework, a practical use case application is presented. Such an application has been designed to motivate pediatric patients and to encourage them to increase their physical activity through AR games. The presented games do not require any previous configuration, as they use ARCore automatic surface detection technology. Moreover, the AR mobile gaming framework allows multiple players to engage in the same AR experience, so children can interact and collaborate among them sharing the same AR content. In addition, the proposed AR system provides a remote web application that is able to collect and to visualize data on patient use, aiming to provide healthcare professionals with qualified data about the mobility and mood of their patients through an intuitive and user-friendly web tool. Finally, to determine the performance of the proposed AR system, this article presents its evaluation in terms of latency and processing time. The results show that both times are low enough to provide a good user experience.

Mangrove forest is an ecosystem that is highly diverse not only in mangrove plants but also supports rich assemblages of fauna and other non-mangrove floral species.  It provides numerous kinds of ecosystem services that are of great benefit to humankind. However, to the general public, knowledge on the importance of mangrove ecosystems is very limited. In this paper, we present our experience in establishing the Mangrove Reference Data Center (MRDC) and its augmented reality-based mobile application called Kilim Scouter which provides information details of mangrove plants and related information to the users. MRDC is a data center that stores information details of mangrove plants in Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi Island, Malaysia such as common and scientific names of species, as well as its distribution (GPS location).  In addition, MRDC also stores other information for example other inhabitants of the ecosystem and non-living entities such as Karstic hills and caves found in the Mangrove ecosystem. MRDC comes with a web application that acts as an interface to MRDC for accessing, adding or modifying the information details of mangrove plants. Kilim Scouter is a mobile application which deploys Augmented Reality (AR) technology, a technology through which the view of the real world environment is augmented by adding computer-generated elements/objects. Kilim Scouter utilizes the AR technology to automatically track and identify the mangrove plants and its related information, and then provides the information by retrieving data from MRDC. MRDC and Kilim Scouter are capable of providing on-the-go accessibility of information details of mangrove plants and target users such as tourists and researchers. This application will create awareness on the importance of the mangrove ecosystems and thus, assist the effort in sustaining the mangrove ecosystem.
