Evaluating the Effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) in Interior Design Courses

9 pages•Published: May 26, 2024

Abstract

In the realm of construction education, the increasing utilization of Augmented Reality (AR) tools has brought forth new opportunities for enhancing spatial perception, optimizing spatial layout, accommodating design changes, and improving communication. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of mobile AR apps in these dimensions, providing insights into the transformative potential of AR technology within construction instruction. A quantitative analysis was performed by comparing the time usage with and without Augmented Reality (AR) within both the experimental and control groups in each school. A supplementary questionnaire was also undertaken in this study from two construction programs with a focus on how AR tools influence spatial comprehension and communication. This study intends to contribute valuable perspectives for integrating these technologies into contemporary educational frameworks, thereby fostering a more comprehensive learning experience for students in the construction field.
