Abstract
In this paper, a simulator based on augmented reality is developed, named ARFLY, for use in China’s general high school technology curriculum to improve the authentic learning experience and learning effect. ARFLY replaces a real instrument panel, which is complex and expensive, with a virtual 3D model by means of AR technology. ARFLY includes video see-through head mounted display with a motion tracker to realize 360-degree viewing by relating head tracking information to the display of virtual 3D scenarios. In addition, ARFLY is equipped with an intelligent tutoring system that guides the learning process. A pilot study and questionnaire-based evaluation of ARFLY are conducted. The results of a pilot study show that the proposed simulator can enhance authentic feeling, the immersion sensation, and learning motivation for users when learning control principles.
