Multi-Viewpoint Smartphone AR-Based Learning System for Astronomical Observation

Abstract

Observational-based learning (OBL) can improve learners' understanding of astronomical phenomena, such as the lunar phases or solar diurnal motion.This paper introduces the multi-viewpoint smartphone AR-based (M-VSAR) learning system for constructing an OBL environment for astronomical observation.We apply this concept to two learning systems: a solar observation system and a lunar observation system.We illustrate how an M-VSAR system can enhance a learner's interest in and learning of astronomical phenomena.
