研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This research examines VR/AR benefits in merging distance learning students with in-person classrooms. A hybrid AR/VR app facilitates group interaction in an AR/VR mixed space. Results will inform future distance education strategies and foster inclusivity for online learners in classrooms.

研究実績の概要 |
During the first year, the researchers sought out suitable developers to take the in-house developed prototype tool and build it out with the additional features needed for the project. Work proceeded smoothly and upon completion of the out-sourced work, the researchers have continued development of the application tool in-house, and have tested it in limited pilots with a variety of users, including at-home and on-campus students. So far, application appears suitable for use in language classrooms on-campus with at-home student participation. The system was presented at CIBER BL 2024 and feedback obtained, and a paper "A social presence benchmark framework for extended reality (XR) technologies" was published in Computers & Education: X Reality (4).

理由
Development work has gone smoothly with no major bugs or issues preventing work from progressing according to plan thus far. Transition to data collection in 2024 appears to be on schedule once final application features are programmed and implemented.
|
今後の研究の推進方策 |
Plans for academic year 2024-2025 are to wrap up development and testing and start data collection. We will then make any additional needed changes to the application and perform another round of data collection before publishing findings.
