USABILITY OF AUGMENTED REALITY IN EDUCATION AND PROVIDING INFORMATION

V diplomskem delu je predstavljena nadgrajena resničnost, ki se kot sodobna tehnologija uveljavlja na različnih gospodarskih področjih. Z razvojem računalniških in mobilnih tehnologij se tudi v izobraževanju in informiranju kaže njena uporabnost. To je ponazorjeno skozi različne programe, ki temeljijo na mobilnih telefonih. Prav tako je za namene diplomskega dela načrtovana in izdelana aplikacija FeriAR, ki je namenjena študentom Fakultete za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko, Univerze v Mariboru. Na ta način je na praktičnem primeru ponazorjeno delovanje nadgrajene resničnosti v akademski sferi. Uporabniška izkušnja je ocenjena z metodo glasnega razmišljanja. Na osnovi ocenjevanja je ugotovljeno, da je aplikacija primerna za uporabo, z evalvacijo pa so pridobljena kvalitativna dognanja, ki bodo omogočala izboljšavo in nadaljno posodobitev aplikacije.Presented in this diploma is the augmented reality as a computer based technology that can be used in numerous life spheres. With the advance of computer and mobile technologies its usability can be seen in education and providing information. Usability is presented through diferent programes based on mobile phones. What is more, the aplication FeriAR is designed and implemented for students attending Faculty of electrical engineering and computer science. In this way the usage of augmented reality in academic spheres is presented clearly. Furthermore, the evaluation is conducted using Aloud thinking methodology. The results point out that the aplication is appropriate to be used for academic purposes as well as that there is still room for improvement
