Design and validation of an augmented book for spatial abilities development in engineering students

چکیده
This paper presents a novel application of Augmented Reality for improving spatial abilities of engineering students. An augment book has been designed to provide 3D virtual models that help students to perform visualization tasks to promote the development of their spatial ability. A validation study with 24 freshmen on Mechanical Engineering at University of La Laguna (Spain) has concluded that the training had a measurable and positive impact on students' spatial ability. On the other hand, obtained results using a satisfaction questionnaire show that AR is considered an easy to use, intuitive and very useful technique by students 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 1 Design and validation of an augmented book for spatial abilities development in engineering students Jorge Martín-Gutiérrez, José L.

Integration of Augmented Reality into the CAD Process
The enhancement of visualization skills of engineering students is essential for their development of design skills in many fields of engineering. Based on studies of visualization skills of entering first year engineering students, some of them have difficulties in dealing with orthographic applications (projections, orthographic to isometric transformations, etc.). They seem to lack sufficien...

متن کاملEffectiveness of Multimedia E-book and Augmented Reality on Knowledge and Skill of Health Science Students: A Systematic Review
Background: The field of health sciences is always related to practical activities in the laboratory. The limited ability of educational institutions to prepare pretty expensive practicum materials makes it essential to use other methods as a substitute or minimize the use of excessive practicum materials because they must be done repeatedly. Accordingly, the present systematic review seeks to ...

In this work we present the results obtained from an experience performed with freshmen students of the Industrial Engineering degree at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria University aiming for improvement of their spatial abilities. The work linked to spatial abilities show a great lack of uniformity according to the adopted terminology as a consequence of different approaches, researchers’ field of s...
متن کاملImproving Spatial Abilities by Geometry Education in Augmented Reality - Application and Evaluation Design
In the first part we summarize our development of a system that uses collaborative augmented reality as a medium for teaching, and uses 3D dynamic geometry to facilitate mathematics and geometry education. Geometry education has proven as one powerful means of improving spatial abilities, an important component of human intelligence. A number of training studies have shown the usefulness of vir...
