New forms of embodied interactions may arise in AR-based DGS, as students gesture and move their bodies through their environment, taking different perspectives to interact with these immersive shapes projected in three dimensions. In the present study, we examine videos of 28 high school students interacting with an AR-based version of the DGS GeoGebra, while wearing the Microsoft HoloLens 2 headsets. We document the novel kinds of embodied interactions that the AR environment affords, relating to (1) perspective and orientation, (2) scale, (3) three dimensions.

Moreover, we studied if some commognitive conflicts appeared in task situations involving non-prototypical solids but not in similar task situations involving prototypical solids.

To answer this question, generalized linear mixed models were used to determine the effects of linguistic factors, the requirements of the items, and the effects of linguistic factors when differentiating the requirements of the items, while controlling for further person- and item-related effects.
