Mobile
Augmented Reality Systems (MARS) have the potential to provide
continuous and autonomous instruction to human learners anytime,
anyplace, and at any pace. MARS-based learning provides the
advantage of a natural human-computer interface, flexible mobility,
and context-aware instruction allowing learners to develop
psychomotor skills while interacting with their natural environment
with augmented perceptual cues. These perceptual cues combining
multi-modal animation, graphics, text, video, and voice along with
empirical instructional techniques can elegantly orchestrate a
mobile instructional tool. The challenge, however, is building a
MARS-based instructional tool with capabilities for adapting to
various learning environments ranging from traditional schools and
outdoor learning environments to the workplace. The system delivers
a novel, mobile augmented reality architecture to implement
advanced wearable e-learning applications to deliver personalized
instruction. The IEEE Virtual Instructor Pilot
Research Group is involved in this
research.Do you think this system sounds exciting? Will it aid in teaching? What are some potential problems you see with it?
