Abstract
This paper presents MR-LEAP (Mixed-Reality Learning Environment for Aspirational Programmers), a framework developed for learning programming through Mixed Reality and gamification mechanics. MR-LEAP’s architecture is designed to facilitate the understanding of basic programming concepts while allowing the gradual incorporation of more complex concepts. The framework provides a simple visual level editor. MR-LEAP is supported by the Mixed Reality Toolkit framework to promote portability to new Mixed Reality devices. Our goal is to facilitate programming education using Mixed Reality technology. MR-LEAP has already been used in both research and educational.
