Teaching Multidisciplinary Teams Requirements for Undergraduate Students: an Approach to Augmented Reality Software in Design Thinking Context

Augmented Reality (AR) has the advantage of allowing the use of tangible actions and multimodal operations. It is believed that the development of AR scenarios is a difficult task, requiring knowledge and understanding in several areas. With this, the disciplines of Software Engineering play a fundamental role in the development of these scenarios. The teaching of requirements and concepts of elicitation is primordial in the first years of the courses of Computing. A systematic review to map the use of Requirements Engineering in the development of AR scenarios pointed to a gap regarding the requirements elicitation process for AR, which led us to think of a teaching strategy to help undergraduate students to specify AR scenario requirements. Therefore, in 2016, we conducted experimental tests at the University Technological Federal of Paraná with the undergraduate students of Systems Analysis and Development and Software Engineering, to present a strategy that would contribute to the elicitation of requirements for RA scenarios. These experimental tests verified the strategy, and the results indicate if it is possible to help the students in the elicitation of requirements for AR scenarios from this approach..
