Abstract
This research explores how Augmented Reality (AR) and
Virtual Reality (VR) can change the way we learn design.
We're in a time where technology is changingeducation,and
we want to see how AR and VR can help people learn about
creative design. We start by looking at different wayspeople
like to learn and how that can help us teach better. Then, we
dive into AR and VR to see how they create fun and
interactive learning. We check what other people have
already learned about this to build our ideas. We testARand
VR by asking people questions and watching them use these
technologies. This helps us see what works best fordifferent
learners. We also talk to people to understand their
experiences, finding out what's good and what's not so good
about using AR and VR. What we find is that AR and VR can
help all sorts of learners in design classes. These
technologies make learning more exciting and help people
remember things better. They let students play with ideas
like they're real, even though they're in a virtual world. But
using AR and VR in design classes can be tricky. Sometimes,
it's hard to use the technology, and not all students might
have access to it. Teachers need to change how they teach to
fit with AR and VR. In the end, our research shows that AR
and VR can make design classes better. They helpall kindsof
students learn in cool new ways. As AR andVR becomemore
common in schools, teachers and others can use them to
make learning about design more fun and helpful for
everyone.

2.Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
VR has been extensively used in educational environments.
As AR technology is becoming more accessible, it is being
more often adapted for mainstream use. While VR can
generally be interpreted as an immersive three-dimensional
computer-generated environment, AR can be thought of as
overlaying of the virtual over the physical environment. VR
is a simulated three dimensional environmentwhicheither
emulates the real world or acts as an imaginary world. Even
though the majority of virtual environments cater to the
visual sense, virtual environments can cater to the auditory,
haptic, olfactory, and even the taste sense. VR is commonly
used as an entertainment, education, and research tool. It
offers a wide variety of options and opportunities in
conducting research, especially in human behaviour
research, since virtual environments can be controlled
according to the need of the researcher. AR has beendefined
as a variation of VR (Azuma, 1997). While VR completely
immerses the user inside a computer-generated
environment where the user cannot relate to the physical
environment, AR allows the overlaying of virtual elements
onto the physical environment. AR can be considered a
hybrid of virtual and physical environments and therefore
supplements reality rather than replacing it. Given the
similarities and overlapping of certain characteristics
between these two interfaces (AR and VR), there is a critical
need to identify advantages or disadvantagesofoneover the
other for its use in a specific domain. AR is an interface that
offers tangible interaction (Ishii, 2007) and is often referred
to as tangible user interface (TUI). There for the tangible
nature of AR might appeal to AR/VR Learner preferences

visual nature of VR, which might appeal more to the visual
learners. Even though AR has existed for several decades,
there is a gap in the knowledge about how human factors
affect the use of AR (Huang, Alem, & Livingston, 2012).
Better understanding of user experience factors in AR
environments is important fora numberofreasons.Withthe
emergence of new hardware that has the capability of
supporting AR applications, interest in how to use this
technology efficiently has been increasing. Such studies are
only currently becoming feasible because of the recent
maturation of the technology. Extensive studies of this type
will allow the development of specific and general design
and usage guidelines for AR technology not only in design
education and design practice but in other fields of study as
well. Moreover, understanding human perception of AR will
accelerate the introduction of such technologies into
mainstream use beyond the current novelty value of AR.
3. History
Augmented Reality (AR):
AR's roots can be traced back to the 1960s when computer

As AR technology is becoming more accessible, it is being more often adapted for mainstream use. While VR can generally be interpreted as an immersive three-dimensional computer-generated environment, AR can be thought of as overlaying of the virtual over the physical environment. VR is a simulated three dimensional environmentwhicheither emulates the real world or acts as an imaginary world. Even though the majority of virtual environments cater to the visual sense, virtual environments can cater to the auditory, haptic, olfactory, and even the taste sense. VR is commonly used as an entertainment, education, and research tool. It offers a wide variety of options and opportunities in conducting research, especially in human behaviour research, since virtual environments can be controlled according to the need of the researcher. AR has beendefined as a variation of VR (Azuma, 1997). While VR completely immerses the user inside a computer-generated environment where the user cannot relate to the physical environment, AR allows the overlaying of virtual elements onto the physical environment. AR can be considered a hybrid of virtual and physical environments and therefore supplements reality rather than replacing it. Given the similarities and overlapping of certain characteristics between these two interfaces (AR and VR), there is a critical need to identify advantages or disadvantagesofoneover the other for its use in a specific domain. AR is an interface that offers tangible interaction (Ishii, 2007) and is often referred to as tangible user interface (TUI). There for the tangible nature of AR might appeal to AR/VR Learner preferences Creative Design Process Technology Acceptanace VARK Learning Style Inventory • Visual • Auditory • Read/Write • Kinesthetic Page | 57 kinaesthetic users as compared to the visual nature of VR, which might appeal more to the visual learners. Even though AR has existed for several decades, there is a gap in the knowledge about how human factors affect the use of AR (Huang, Alem, & Livingston, 2012). Better understanding of user experience factors in AR environments is important fora numberofreasons.Withthe emergence of new hardware that has the capability of supporting AR applications, interest in how to use this technology efficiently has been increasing. Such studies are only currently becoming feasible because of the recent maturation of the technology. Extensive studies of this type will allow the development of specific and general design and usage guidelines for AR technology not only in design education and design practice but in other fields of study as well. Moreover, understanding human perception of AR will accelerate the introduction of such technologies into mainstream use beyond the current novelty value of AR. 3.
