Development of a support system for reviewing and learning historical events by active simulation using AR markers

Abstract

There are a lot of people who are not good at learning history, since they are simply trying to memory terms. Certainly, memorization of terms is also necessary, but just reading and remembering words does not mean that they understand history, and it is difficult to keep in memories. The most important thing in learning history is to know the flow of what caused an event, what process it took and what kind of result was caused. However, it is difficult for those who do not know this to notice on their own, and a new teaching material that can learn historical facts is necessary.In this research, we set up a system to learn by tracing the flow of historical facts, using Sekigahara battle in Japanese history as a test case, and remove the weak consciousness in learning in Japanese history. In addition, we aim to increase learner’s interest in Japanese history and improve learning motivation. In addition, we aimed to be able to deepen understanding by introducing AR marker into the system, seeing it and moving it by hand. In order to confirm that the system is useful, 12 subjects used this system, and they answered a questionnaire about their feelings.
