Abstract :
The concept of using augmented reality (AR) into e-Learning research and application has been emphasized these days. The present study aims to propose the concept of Reality-Virtually-Reality Architecture (RVR) and to build Ubiquitous AR environment (UARE) with AR-based technique. It is expected that learners can gain instant learning resources in the environment and can have evaluations and discussions about their learning subjects. Our preliminary empirical results show that UARE had good usability and stability. It also promoted learners´ motivation in learning.
