Augmentix -- An Augmented Reality System for asymmetric Teleteaching
This system addresses the lack of research on augmented reality's potential to improve the teaching workflow for educators in teleteaching scenarios.
This paper introduces Augmentix, an augmented reality system designed for asymmetric teleteaching. It allows a teacher to guide a student exploring a virtual city, specifically focusing on enhancing the teacher's workflow using AR, a previously underexplored area.
Using augmented reality in education is already a common concept, as it has the potential to turn learning into a motivational learning experience. However, current research only covers the students site of learning. Almost no research focuses on the teachers' site and whether augmented reality could potentially improve his/her workflow of teaching the students or not. Many researchers do not differentiate between multiple user roles, like a student and a teacher. To allow investigation into these lacks of research, a teaching system "Augmentix" is presented, which includes a differentiation between the two user roles "teacher" and "student" to potentially enhances the teachers workflow by using augmented reality. In this system's setting the student can explore a virtual city in virtual reality and the teacher can guide him with augmented reality.
