Guided Tour

Museum-style guided tour

Museums offer an interesting and different way to learn. With a guided tour, students get the benefits of a prepared talk, while also getting the visual input from models. Short talk sessions with many breaks and movement inbetween stations ensure that students stay attentive for longer. Movement is a key component of museum learning. To get to a new station, you need to move to it. It has been proven that movement contributes to keeping focus.

Something students appreciate about museums is that there is less information, and it is not as theoretical as in classroom learning. A combination of different visual input helps to give students a more realistic perspective of how things work.

TIP! Since the tour is not so information-dense, it is recommended that they be given after a theory class on the same subject. Thus, it acts as reinforcement of knowledge while giving a different perspective to increase understanding.

Free Exploration

Free exploration in your own pace

Similar to in a museum, the OcuClass setup allows for learning through free exploration. Students can walk around the environment on their own, exploring deeper the areas that interest them the most. This is a perfect opportunity for students to discuss with each other.

TIP! A combination of Guided Tours and Free Exploration can help students to gain both interest and knowledge!

Outdoor Environments

Explore the augmented outdoors

OcuClass is not limited to the classroom. Markers can easily be placed in the external environment, for example on fields or in specific landscape relevant to the lecture. This can be useful if the class is learning about something present in nature or at a specific location. Then the real world can actually be experienced while at the same time, presentation slides can be brought to the real world.

Exploration From Desk

Watch augmented material appear right on your desk

The markers can be handed out to students so they can be viewed right at the desk. Students can then move and tilt the paper to move the augmentations around and see them from different perspectives. This saves a lot of class time, since it incorporated into a normal lecture. Even without the added benefits of movement, desk exploration still enables students to get a more realistic of things through the use of 3D models.

Seated Exploration

Incorporate AR into lectures

OcuClass can be used even during normal lectures. The teacher can display the markers in the front of the classroom, in place of presentation slides or other material. This is especially useful for 3D models that can help students get a better understanding of how something looks in real life
