The ergonomic quality of an educational application based on augmented reality – a measurement model with causal indicators
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
In recent years the educational applications based on augmented reality (AR) gained interest due to the opportunities provided by the integration of real objects from the traditional didactics on a hardware-software platform. The implementation of the AR concept, which is based on the superposition of computer generated images over the observed image of a real object on the screen, may lead to specific usability problems that are reflected on the ease of learning how to operate, ease of use, and comfort in use. In this paper a model with causal indicators is presented that is influencing the ergonomic quality of an AR-based educational application. The results show that the ease of reading the information on the screen and the ease of selecting a chemical element are the most important causal indicators for the ergonomic quality of the application.
