Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows two- or three-dimensional computer-generated graphics, objects, and information to be displayed as an overlay onto the real environment. With the advancement of mobile devices in term of their sensors (gyroscope, barometer, accelerometer, proximity sensor, camera module), displays and processing power, the potential of using mobile AR in teaching and learning (T&L) is becoming clearer. Construction measurement subject is considered the core subject for a quantity surveying student to master. However, some of the measured elements are difficult for students with low spatial skills to visualize the construction sequence and understand. Therefore, the use of AR would help in enhancing the T&L experience of construction measurement for the students. This paper aims to propose a conceptual framework for designing a mobile AR learning module for construction measurement subject. The Construction Measurement Augmented Reality (CMAR) framework consist of the learning theory, learning content, features and learning outcome.
