Augmented Reality provides a way to enhance the classroom experience. In particular, student learning about building systems in the fields of Architecture, Civil, and Mechanical Engineering may improve, if visualization outside the classroom is provided. We propose that AR-SKOPE, an application that integrates Building Information Modelling and Augmented Reality may improve learning. This application allows students to visit specific buildings and investigate their various systems with supplementary information using a phone or tablet. We are currently testing our early prototype to conduct a semester-long study.
