Abstract

Headset-based augmented reality (AR) unlocks unique opportunities to integrate gestures into collaborative problem-solving activities. This paper documents a collaborative astronomy sky simulation across AR and tablet technologies. Two groups of students were identified from a larger data corpus based on the amount of interactions within the AR headset. These groups were coded for episodes of on-task problem solving and instances of collaboration involving gestures. Gesture interaction analysis assisted in identifying collections of interactions facilitating exploration, orientation, perspective-sharing and communication of mental models. These patterns of interactions suggest productive use of AR technologies to collaborate and problem solve through the use of gestures.
