Designing a Mixed Reality Extension for an Educational Board Game on Fractions

A Wearable Mixed Reality with an On-Board Projector

One of methods achieving Mixed Reality (MR) displays is the texture projection method using projectors. Another kind of emerging information environments is a wearable information device, which realizes ubiquitous computing. It is very promising to integrate these technologies. Using this kind of fusion system, two or more users can get the same MR environments without using HMD at the same mom...

Designing an augmented reality game-based curriculum

This research investigates the potential of using Augmented Reality Games on Handheld Computers (ARGH) in inquiry-based science learning. This paper presents the design and study of a game-based curriculum for scientific argumentation and conceptual change. The result suggests that the desired learning outcome have been partially achieved and most students were positive about the designed exper...

IRVO: an Interaction Model for designing Collaborative Mixed Reality systems

This paper presents an interaction model adapted to mixed reality environments known as IRVO (Interacting with Real and Virtual Objects). IRVO aims at modeling the interaction between one or more users and the Mixed Reality system by representing explicitly the objects and tools involved and their relationship. IRVO covers the design phase of the life cycle and models the intended use of the sy...

Gut Check: The evolution of an educational board game

The "gamification" of science has gained a lot of traction in recent years, and games that convey scientific concepts or themes are increasingly popular. While a number of existing games touch on microbiology, very few consider the beneficial (as opposed to the detrimental) aspects of microbes. We designed a board game called "Gut Check: The Microbiome Game" to fill this gap. The game is meant ...
