Building occupants must know how to properly exit a building should the need ever arise. Being aware of appropriate evacuation procedures eliminates (or reduces) the risk of injury and death occurring during an existing catastrophe. Augmented reality (AR) is increasingly being sought after as a teaching and training tool because it offers a visualization and interaction capability that captures the learner’s attention and enhances the learner’s capacity to retain what was learned. Utilizing the visualization and interaction capability that AR offers and the need for emergency evacuation training, this paper explores mobile AR application (MARA) constructed to help users evacuate a building in the event of an emergency such as a building fire, active shooter, earthquake, and similar circumstances. The MARA was built for Android-based devices using Unity and Vuforia. Its features include the use of intelligent signs (i.e. visual cues to guide users to the exits) to help users evacuate a building. Inter alia, this paper discusses the MARA’s implementation and its evaluation through a user study utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the System Usability Scale (SUS) frameworks. The results demonstrate the participants’ opinions that the MARA is both usable and effective in helping users evacuate a building.

Markerless Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that combines two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual objects into a real environment and then projects these virtual objects in real time without the need for a special marker. In this research, the Markerless AR application will be used to simulate room decoration with 3-dimensional objects. This research was built using the Java programming language and using supporting applications namely Android Studio and Wikitude library. Based on the results of testing with the Black-box method, the overall functionality of the application has run well, besides testing also uses the System Usability Scale (SUS) method by giving questionnaires to 20 application users. The results of the System Usability Scale (SUS) test obtained an average score of 73.13. In grouping the SUS percentile score, the value of 73.13 is in Class C, wherein this assessment the application is acceptable and can be used easily by the user.

The aim of this study was the design, development, and evaluation of an Augmented Reality game to teach students about the local history of a Greek island. Design-based research served as the foundation of this study’s methodology. Experts in ICT in education, teachers with knowledge of the local history and primary education students participated in the evaluation of this study. The results of the evaluation showed that the game presents satisfactory levels of usability and that its content is compatible with the island’s local history. Among the factors influencing its use by students were internet connectivity, the large number of visitors at the archaeological site where the game was played, and the problem of coordinating the student groups.

Este artigo busca refletir acerca da experiência urbana nas cidades contemporâneas a partir da mediação do jogo móvel locativo para smartphones e tablets Ingress. Partindo de uma perspectiva teórico-metodológica que considera a multiplicidade de apropriações e usos possíveis do espaço urbano e admite o uso da cidade com propósitos lúdicos, apresentamos como objeto o augmented reality game (jogo de realidade aumentada, ou ARG) em questão. Para isso, utilizaremos a antropologia urbana conforme proposta por Rocha e Eckert (2013a;2013c) , voltada a uma etnografia de rua como viés metodológico para a captura das possibilidades lúdicas de experiência citadina por parte dos sujeitos, em um contexto de artefatos digitais conectados em redes informacionais que se relacionam com objetos, o próprio espaço físico e suas camadas materiais e simbólicas.Palavras-chave: Antropologia Urbana.

From a theoretical and methodological perspective that considers the multitude of possible uses and appropriations of urban space and admits the use of the city with recreational purposes, we take as object of study the augmented reality game (ARG) in question. Therefore, we use the urban anthropology as proposed by Rocha and Eckert (2013a, 2013c), facing a street ethnography as a methodological bias to catch the playful possibilities of city experience of the subjects, in a context of connected artifacts in digital and informational networks that relate to objects themselves, the physical space and their material and symbolic layers.Keywords: Urban Anthropology.

Nowadays, the implementation of information and communication technology in education is important. In harmony with technological developments, the term mobile learning comes to represent learning that utilizes mobile communication devices. The implementation of augmented reality in education provides a new learning model in the form of a combination of technology-based conventional learning media. This research aimed to evaluate augmented reality-based books as media for learning Cirebon mask dance. As many as 15 respondents were involved in the evaluation process, including testing the usability using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The evaluation using SUS found a value of 77.67, meaning that the Acceptability Ranges category was “Acceptable”; the Grade Scale category was “C”; and the Adjective Rating category was “Excellent”, while that using UEQ found that each category, namely Attractiveness, Perspicuity, Efficiency, Dependability, Stimulation, Dependability, and Novelty got a value greater than the impression value (0.8), namely 2.122; 2.117; 1.983; 1.750; 1.950 and 1,867, respectively. Overall, all of the evaluation results show that augmented reality-based books are acceptable to be used as media for learning Cirebon mask dance.

Teaching Learning

Health education is one of the knowledge areas in which augmented reality (AR) technology is widespread, and it has been considered as a facilitator of the learning process. In literature, there are still few studies detailing the role of mobile AR in neuroanatomy. Specifically, for the spinal cord, the teaching–learning process may be hindered due to its abstract nature and the absence of three-dimensional models. In this sense, we implemented a mobile application with AR technology named NitLabEduca for studying the spinal cord with an interactive exploration of 3D rotating models in the macroscopic scale, theoretical content of its specificities, animations, and simulations regarding its physiology. To investigate NitLabEduca’s effects, eighty individuals with and without previous neuroanatomy knowledge were selected and grouped into control and experimental groups. Divided, they performed learning tasks through a questionnaire. We used the System Usability Scale (SUS) to evaluate the usability level of the mobile application and a complimentary survey to verify the adherence level to the use of mobile applications in higher education. As a result, we observed that participants of both groups who started the task with the application and finished with text had more correct results in the test (p < 0.001). SUS results were promising in terms of usability and learning factor. We concluded that studying the spinal cord through NitLabEduca seems to favor learning when used as a complement to the printed material.
