The Design and Implementation of Augmented Reality Learning Systems

In this paper, we present an augmented reality learning system that enables users to experience an interactive flower garden with the assistance of interactive agents in the augmented picture. We develop an interactive agent that generates problem-solving peer support to a user's action. We overlay virtual flower garden over a physical book and offer a collaborative environment that allows a learner to interact with the agent. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system, we implement it on a mobile device and enable users to experience the collaborative task with the animated character. Through evaluation, we found that the interactive agent could be a promising technology for motivating users to engage in learning systems.
