Learner versus System Control in Augmented Lab Experiments
Susanne Karsten, Daniel Jörg, Eva Hornecker · 2017
We present a user study of the mock-up for a learning environment on electro-mobility, based on tracking of physical interactions and projected augmentation. We discuss observations and interviews with participants that were led through a task scenario. Our insights highlight user needs in an educational context. There is generally high acceptance for augmented reality in experimentation environments, but issues concerning user guidance and system concept are critical for practical experimental education in schools and universities. We describe the most important decisions for further development. Frequently, these concern questions about degrees of freedom - on the part of users as well as the system.
