Description
Over the past decade, Physics Education Researchers have increasingly focused on Augmented Reality (AR) as a key technological tool. This ongoing study investigates the effectiveness of AR headsets, specifically using the software AnReAL, in teaching motion-related concepts. AnReAL transforms AR headsets into interactive physics labs, enabling real time visualization of mathematical objects of physical interest - such as trajectories and vectors - integrating embodied learning into an immersive and interactive environment. Grounded in Active Learning, AnReAL-based activities involve group and peer discussions, motion and trajectory predictions, and immediate feedback, fostering a deeper understanding of motion concepts.
