Abstract
From a physicist point of view, Virtual Reality setups are high-precision, low-cost, 6 degrees-of-freedom, high-speed, multiple-objects tracking devices. These setups prove to be very high-quality sensors that are well suited to be used in the physics laboratory for tracking in motion experiments. Augmented Reality can be achieved by attaching a stereo to the headset to allow students to see the 3D tracking of the experiment in the physical world. A series of Augmented Reality Active Learning (AnReAL) activities are presented, while also comparing this setup to more traditional ones, i.e. ultrasonic motion sensors and video tracking analysis software. Virtual and augmented reality setups, such as the presented one, are likely to prove very beneficial for information retention, following the emerging theory of embodied cognition.
