Abstract

The article analyzes domestic experience of using augmented reality technologies in the field of education. An overview of virtual and augmented reality communication tools is provided, aiming at selection most appropriate ones to to develop a course, the expediency of using the combination of Unity for visual design, Visual Studio programming environment and virtual (Google VR) and auxiliary (Vuforia) platforms is grounded. An extracurricular course " Virtual and augmented reality means operation" has been developed, whith the following modules structure: Virtual reality means development: virtual reality and game engines; physical interactions and camera; 3D user interface and positioning; 3D-interaction with the user; virtual reality navigation and introduction. Development of augmented reality tools: creation of augmented reality tools in Unity 3D; project development with geopositioning; development of training materials with the help of Vuforia; development for advanced devices. The examples of tasks are given (by weeks of study) as well as their implementation analysis. It is determined that the study of the course contributes to building competencies in innovative teaching aids design, development and use. The course participants feedbacks on the impression from doing the course are given. The respondents proved to be most interested in either the development process, or in the development result, or the applications practical implementation. 65% admitted that they would like to continue to improve their knowledge of AR. Only 9% stated they will not use the acquired knowledge in their professional activities, 52% think they will, 17% plan to do so and 22% have already been using it. The respondents identified areas for the course improvement: independent work amount reducing, class work hours increasing, guidelines detailing as well as enlarging practical tasks, connected with STEM-disciplines. The research continues, as the implementation of the developed course and its effectiveness experimental verification proceed.
