The preferred type of AR 3D popup book • AR 3D Pop-up book and 3D Pop-up book both – Present the same pop-up object – Play the same sound – Arrange in the same order

One product in two modes

Augmented Reality

3D Pop-up Book

Comparison of these two modes Augmented Reality

3D Pop-up book

1. Need a web camera

1. No need of a web camera

2. Users see reality of the environment 2. Users see colorful background and especially see themselves objects which might add info to the course 3. Control book by moving a maker

3. Control by a mouse of a computer

Which modes did the students prefer?

• AR • 3D pop-up book • Or both

After 73 students studied

Results of Preferred Presentation of AR and 3D Pop-up Book

Conclusion • The result of this research question reflects that both presentations of AR and 3D pop-up book are similarly preferred by the Grade Three students who have experienced participation in both media. • The reason seemingly for this is both are innovations appropriately adapted to the age of the students. Further research to explore the issues is needed.
