This paper describes an educational experience using augmented reality (AR) on mobile devices as a tool for learning urban design concepts click here and specifically for architecture degree students.In a real project-based exercise, the participants had to design a sculpture to be placed in a public space, checking the suitability of the object as for example the form, scale, location, materials, etc., and taking into account the surroundings.The project is controlled on-site using AR on mobile platforms, encouraging collaborative learning by sharing the 3D models of their proposals, and acting both as producers and consumers of AR content in the process.To assess both the usability of technology, as well as the superdry baseball top learning improvement, the class was divided into two groups with equivalent pre-course grades: a control group, who followed the conventional course in the laboratory, and a test group, who used AR technology.
At the end of the course, the AR-using group showed a significant increase in academic performance, higher motivation and satisfaction compared to the control group.
