  • Using off-the-shelf AR and VR software for teaching immersive perspectives to 9th grade students
    Publication . Flores, Manuel; Araújo, António
    Recent research has argued that an immersive reformulation of the concepts of anamorphosis and perspective can have beneficial effects on the teaching of these concepts to young students, and a didactic itinerary for Portuguese 9th grade students has been proposed and executed along these lines. A part of this reformulation is an integration with VR and AR visualizations which was implemented with off-the-shelf software. We report on both the advantages and limitations of these off-the-shelf platforms and propose adaptations and alternatives that might improve the didactic experience.
  • Applications of anamorphosis and mixed reality in a classroom setting
    Publication . Flores, Manuel; Araújo, António
    We report on a novel use of handmade anamorphoses in connection with Mixed Reality in a classroom setting involving Portuguese 9th grade visual education students. This is based on a conceptual reformulation of anamorphosis that makes it intrinsically immersive and connects it naturally with digital visualizations. We propose that this is a useful device for motivating the study of perspective and descriptive geometry for young students.
