Abstract
Our paper presents LIFT, a system that enables educators to create immersive virtual field trip experiences for their students. LIFT overcomes the challenges of enabling non-technical educators to create their own content and allows educators to act as guides during the immersive experience. The system combines live-streamed 360° video, 3D models, and live instruction to create collaborative virtual field trips. To evaluate LIFT, we developed a field trip with biology educators from the University of Central Florida(UCF) and showcased it at a science festival. Our results suggest that LIFT can help educators create immersive educational content while out in the field. However, our pilot observational study at the museum highlighted the need for further research to explore the instructional design of mixed immersive content created with LIFT. Overall, our work provides an application development framework for educators to create immersive, hands-on field trip experiences.
我们的论文介绍LIFT,一个系统,使教育工作者创造身临其境的虚拟实地考察经验,为他们的学生。LIFT克服了使非技术教育工作者能够创建自己的内容的挑战,并允许教育工作者在沉浸式体验中充当向导。该系统结合了360°直播视频、3D模型和现场指导,创建协作式虚拟实地考察。为了评估LIFT,我们与中佛罗里达大学(University of Central Florida, UCF)的生物学教育工作者进行了一次实地考察,并在一个科学节上展示了它。我们的研究结果表明,LIFT可以帮助教育工作者在户外创造沉浸式的教育内容。然而,我们在博物馆的试点观察研究强调了进一步研究的必要性,以探索使用LIFT创建的混合沉浸式内容的教学设计。总的来说,我们的工作为教育工作者提供了一个应用程序开发框架,以创建身临其境的动手实地考察体验。
