Abstract :
This paper presents the design and development of Augmented Reality Experiment Simulation (AReX) prototype as well as the preliminary user study based on the Augmented Reality (AR) interface. AR is an emerging technology which takes advantages of coexistence of physical world and richness of multimedia supported. AReX was developed to facilitate group learning through science experiment. The preliminary study on the prototype has been conducted. The initial results show that students worked collaboratively on the experiment and they were enjoy doing experiment through AR interface. However, the prototype required more improvement on the physical lab worksheet and the simulation part.
