Development of new e-Learning contents using the Augmented Reality Technology

Abstract

A learning content used in e-Learning system is prone to one-sided outbound of information. It is difficult to use in laboratory courses require work with the real tools. However, students will easily understand how to operate equipment by watch the real things rather than seeing them illustrated. Therefore, we focused attention on the augmented reality (AR) technology to solve this issue. By using it, we can make new e-Learning content that can shows instruction on the actual environment through 3D computer graphics models with some instruction information. In this paper, we propose the new e-Learning content using the AR, and report about developed the prototype content with evaluation of students.
