Augmented Reality Applied to Spatial Visualization of Concepts Related to Orthogonal Projection

This paper presents the evaluation of interactive didactic material, developed with the technology Augmented Reality (AR), whose objective is to facilitate the three-dimensional vision of objects and to support concepts of teaching and learning of orthographic projection. In the conception of the development of didactic material, technology in the school environment is considered part of the teaching and learning process, not being treated as complementary to teaching as we still witness in Brazilian education. Considerations are presented about the development of the printed teaching material and the AR application, as well as the evaluation of usability and acceptance of the technology by students who concluded the discipline that approaches concepts of orthographic projections of the Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Expression at the Federal University of Parana. To assess the usability and acceptance of AR, questionnaires were used in which the participants expressed their impressions regarding the integration of this technology as a pedagogical resource in the teaching and learning process. The results show that the participants evaluate positively the use of this technology, pointing benefits and demonstrating the feasibility of applying the developed material in regular classes.
