Immersive educational spaces
- "If only we had had such opportunities to grasp history like this when I was young" – words by an almost 80-year-old woman holding an iPad on which both, the buildings in the background and a tower in the form of a virtual 3D object, appear within reach. To "grasp" history - what an apt use of this action-oriented word for an augmented reality application built on considerations of thinking and acting in history. This telling image emerged during the first test run of the app i.appear which will be the focus of this article's considerations on the use of immersive learning environments. The application i.appear has been used in the city of Dornbirn (Austria) for a year now to teach historical content through location-based augmented reality and other interactive and multimedia technologies. After a brief description of the potential of such applications, the epistemological structure of the hosting app i.appear and its functionality will be outlined. This article will focus on the “Baroque Master Builders” tour of the hosting app that was created and tested as part of the current research.
