Design of an Augmented Reality Component from the Theory of Agents for Smart Classrooms
Luis Antonio Chamba-Eras, José Aguilar · IEEE Latin America Transactions · 2016
This paper defines an Augmented Reality component for a Smart Classroom. In previous work, it has been defined an architecture of a Smart Classroom, called SaCI. The SaCI architecture is based on agents. Particularly, SaCI is defined as a community of agents, which provides services between them. This paper proposes the design of the agent that provides services of augmented reality to display, design, etc., augmented scenarios. In addition, a prototype of the agent of augmented reality is developed. Finally, the impact of the agent is evaluated based on criteria that characterize the use of the Augmented Reality in SaCI. The results are promising, for the impact on students, at motivational and memorization levels, among others.
