Title: INTERACTIVE AUGMENTED REALITY SIMULATION SYSTEM FOR COASTAL HAZARD EDUCATION
The abstract is based on the project of "extended reality" for effective communication of hazards from extreme coastal events, such as tsunamis and hurricanes. The project attends to use augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) to allow, for example, a coastal resident to see a digital tsunami crashing onshore and bulldozing through a community, all while standing on their beach or in their driveway. This type of experience provides an emotional impact and long-lasting memory that will guide future planning decisions and proactivity. In this abstract, we focus on applying mobile augmented reality (AR) to a tsunami simulation system and creating this digital extreme event experience. The tsunami modeling studies use the methods and models described in Tavakkol & Lynett (2017), Lynett et al. (2017) and Lynett & Tavakkol (2017).Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/TD4qI5QdAEc  more » « less

    Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that integrates 3D virtual objects into the physical world in real-time, while virtual reality (VR) is a technology that immerses users in an interactive 3D virtual environment. The fast development of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies has reshaped how people interact with the physical world. This presentation will outline the results from two unique AR and one Web-based VR coastal engineering projects, motivating the next stage in the development of the augmented reality package for coastal students, engineers, and planners.

    Augmented and Virtual Reality technologies enable powerful forms of spatial interaction with a wide range of digital information. While AR and VR headsets are more affordable today than they have ever been, their interfaces are relatively unfamiliar, and a large majority of people around the world do not yet have access to such devices. Inspired by contemporary research towards cross-reality systems that support interactions between mobile and head-mounted devices, we have been exploring the potential of mobile devices to bridge the gap between spatial collaboration and wider availability. In this paper, we outline the development of a cross-reality collaborative experience centered around mobile phones. Nearly fifty users interacted with the experience over a series of research demo days in our lab. We use the initial insights gained from these demonstrations to discuss potential research directions for bringing spatial computing and cross-reality collaboration to wider audiences in the near future.

    Abstract From 2015 to 2017, theROSETTA‐Ice project comprehensively mapped Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf using IcePod, a newly developed aerogeophysical platform. The campaign imaged the ice‐shelf surface with lidar and its internal structure with ice‐penetrating radar. TheROSETTA‐Ice data was combined with pre‐existing ice surface and bed topography digital elevation models to create the first augmented reality (AR) visualisation of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, using the Microsoft HoloLens. TheROSETTA‐Ice datasets support cross‐disciplinary science that aims to understand 4D processes, namely the change of 3D ice‐shelf structures over time. The work presented here usesARto visualise this dataset in 3D and highlights howARcan be simultaneously a useful research tool for interdisciplinary geoscience as well as an effective device for science communication education.

    Our project aims to provide a snapshot of the possibilities of Augmented Reality (AR) art creation within a limited timeframe. It offers participants a way to express their creativity. We introduce college students to the world of AR via several workshops. Here we present the results of these workshops. Our audience understood how to create 3D models and how to use them in an augmented reality environment. Participants also found our workshop fun and engaging and that it expanded their interest in these new technologies.

    Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to enhance the learning experience of students by providing collaborative, interactive, and immersive environments. This paper reports a systematic literature review focused on examining the research studies on the use of AR in higher education from January 2018 to October 2022, specifically in the context of collaborative learning. The initial search resulted in a total of 2537 studies, of which 20 were analyzed for final review. The main findings suggest that learning using AR-enabled collaborative learning benefits students’ overall knowledge gain, improves task performance, reduces task errors, and provides a positive collaboration experience in higher education settings. This article concludes by discussing the implications of these findings and their use as guidelines by educators, designers, and researchers for developing effective collaborative AR learning content.
