AR Software Features
-
Collaboration across distance, using drawings, placing basic shapes, visualizing sensors https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KZSE4QPfTHj3jbhIBTPFOLzrDWcKLnGl/view?usp=sharing
-
Newer features like importing images, step-by-step control of a presentation, drawing tooltips, importing 3D models, dynamically animating shapes with sensor data

Collaboration features: allow students to be aware of each other and direct each others’ awareness.
- Drawing in 3D
- Pointing using virtual lasers
- (seeing students who are connected remotely)
External media features: allow creation of 3D objects (from presets or imported from the web), and 2D images (from the web)
- Import images from the web
- Place 3D basic shapes (boxes, triangles, spheres, springs, …)
- Import 3D models from the web [not animated]
Location information features: allow for easier description of elements in space
- Arrows pointing at locations
- Tooltips with text labels
- Area indicators
Sensors and Effects features: allow data from the real world (ex: hand movements, robot sensor data) to be influencing virtual elements (ex: graphs, or transformations on the virtual elements)
- Sensor charts
- Pre-created simulations (ex: proximity sensor)
- Effects applied to objects (ex: shrink/grow, rotate, move, glow)
Presentation features: allow students to enable/disable visual elements in order to create step-by-step presentations
- Step-by-step control of what visual elements are shown at any given time
