UTSA finds the best method to teach children augmented reality

(University of Texas at San Antonio) Researchers at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) identified the best approach to help children operate augmented reality (AR). According to UTSA computer science experts, a major barrier into wider adoption of the technology for experiential learning is based on AR designs geared toward adults that rely on voice or gesture commands. By conducting in-classroom testing among elementary school students, UTSA researchers uncovered that AR programs are best delivered using controller commands, followed by programs that communicate with age-specific language.
