This contribution describes the first developing phases of a tool aimed to support field training ses-sions in topographic survey learning courses. After describing the issue that justifys the proposal of the research, a discussion of similar approaches carried out by researcher from different countries is shown. Thenceforth, the concept and description of the proposed gamified simulator are explained. Finally, the future features and scopes of the research are presented.
AR as a Tool for Teaching to Architecture Students
Information and communication technology (ICT) are nowadays an integral part of daily life. Training and educational activities are among the different areas that widely profit from the use of these tech-nologies.The proposed contribution aims to develop an augmented reality application for accessing docu-mentary sources used in the teaching of drawing disciplines in architecture courses at the University of Cagliari. Much information is produced and collected in drawing classes, primarily in the form of representations, which are either adopted by the professors year after year or elaborated by the students during the classes.This collection of materials represents a significant legacy that is typically used to enhance instruction, despite certain obstacles in disseminating it among students.As a result, it was decided to use some of the publications from the core bibliography for a student studying the Castello district and its architecture as an “access point” to the knowledge.
