Abstract
A mixed methodology study measuring the usage rates of Augmented Reality (AR) information overlay mapping time-on-task in informal learning environments at a local art museum. This study investigates whether AR systems provide a uniquely beneficial learning context due to AR’s native function to overlay information onto physical spaces at an art museum and the impact on participant perceived self-efficacy and overall engagement within the AR-enhanced environment. Participants also took part in an open-ended survey within the application. The quantitative data collected suggest that participants were highly engaged and utilized the application at the art museum extensively (N = 143); the qualitative results indicated that AR participants were exceedingly motivated and perceived an enhanced sense of engagement with the exhibit sites.
