Augmented Reality as a Quizzing System.
Has anyone used Augmented Reality as a quizzing tool? Our company is in an industrial environment that requires extensive knowledge of the process systems. Using hotspots on equipment seems like an awesome way to create a scavenger hunt style quizzing system. Typically this quizzing would need to follow reading about, drawing and discussing the system in detail. Our current learning path is blended but the quizzing is dull.
I haven’t used VR or AR but would like to hear some thoughts on the topic.
If you were in this environment, would you utilize this technology in this way?
Since I didn’t get any feedback, please can you tell me if this was useful?
I apologize for not responding initially. This does answer the question in the aspect that true AR is not yet available through Adobe Captivate.
It might be worth trying to do the 360 video for exploration. I will read your blogs when it comes time to start experimenting.
I explored the 360 video, and reported my experience in the same blog. Indeed, a full AR experience is not yet the case. I’m sue the feature will e improved in future releases.
There are two ways to use 360 slides/video. If you create a VR project you can include overlay quiz slides which can be scored and results can be transferred to a LMS. The formatting of those overlay slides is still limited but the feature works fine!. Not all quiz types are possible.
In such a VR project you can also use a 360 video for exploration of the room, with information hot spots. Again, there are some limitations. Advantage of a real VR project is that you can use VR devices to watch it, although the number of supported devices is also bit limited at this moment. I am sure that this feature will get improvements in future releases.
Another approach (have been blogging about it) is to insert 360 slides in a normal project. At that moment you’ll lose the possibility of the overlay quiz slides, but you can add non-360 quiz slides and other content slides in the project. Due to several reasons this is my preferred workflow at this moment, although you cannot use VR devices (goggles) to watch it. Example: exploration of a (health sector) of a technical room using 360 image or video, with lots of information hotspotsµ. Preceded by normal content slides for introduction, explanation… At the end an assessment using normal quiz/D&D slides, with the possibility of sending the learner back to the video.… Have to blog more about that solution, I support some trainees for that type of solution.
