Outline of Final Research Achievements

AR-based Inorganic chemistry learning support environment using small device (smartphone and tablet) is developed. In this system, markers are used as control interface. Learners control some markers to perform experiment in virtual environment. Virtual environment is constructed from recorded picture by smartphone’s camera and CG corresponding to marker. By using smartphone or tablet, virtual environment is made by single device (smartphone has a camera, display and calculation unit). And, I developed AR-based learning support system using head-mounted display based on smartphone. In addition, I proposed new approach for virtual environment shared by some learners. In this approach, some smartphone are used for displaying a virtual environment shared by learners. And another smartphone is utilized as control interface for virtual environment.
