In this project, the team will fully develop and test LabAR, an augmented reality (AR)app to support high school students in performing hands-on physical science investigations that would normally not be feasible to conduct in a classroom or distance learning setting. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) emphasize the actual doing of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) so that students can apply learning to the real world. However, students often have difficulty...

Through previous research and development, the team created a prototype of a mobile-based augmented reality (AR) app with virtual objects and annotations to engage students in science learning. In this project, the team will develop a new component of the AR app, a prototype with computer vision and recognition software to present real-world phenomena that are ordinarily not observable in nature.
