KARLI: Kid-friendly Augmented Reality for Primary School Health Education

Acquiring health knowledge is essential and starts already in primary school. Augmented Reality (AR) helps to convey complex topics in a more understandable way. In this paper, we present the prototype of KARLI, the “Kid-friendly Augmented Reality Learning Interface”. This AR smartphone app for in-school use is designed for age level 8 to 10, enabling pupils to explore a 3D model of the human body based on the primary school curriculum. Underlining the importance of kid-friendly app development and testing, our evaluation results of 38 pupils and 3 teachers indicate that KARLI is suitable and helpful for health education in primary schools.
