Designing an Augmented Reality Application to Learn Three-Dimensional Views

This paper documents the implementation of an augmented reality (AR) application which assists students in learning three-dimensional views concepts. The AR application was developed with two main features: the first helped students to visualize the (augmented) three-dimensional views (front, right, and top) of a physical object; the second enabled students to observe how an (augmented) 3D object could be gradually formulated from its three-dimensional views. The features were designed so that students' cognitive load could be reduced when manipulating the mental images of a 3D object. The AR application will be evaluated in terms of how it improves students' achievement as well as reduces students' cognitive load in learning three-dimensional views.
