AUGMENTED REALITY FOR INTERPRETIVE AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING The goal of the ARIEL project is the creation of an exhibit platform that uses scientific visualization techniques to transform modern visitor interaction with traditional hands-on exhibits. The project will ultimately demonstrate an innovative solution to a key problem faced by science centers: the reinvention of the exhibit experience for visitors with changing 21st century learning expectations. The project has three main goals: to increase awareness of STEM content; improve 21st century learning skills; produce an evidence-based model for use of augmented reality activities within science museum settings. The project combines technological and pedagogical components in the AR fixed-station activities and the VR environment that exhibit multiple characteristics and constraints to engagement.
