Augmented Interactive Reality Book Based on “My Vision ” by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
One of EBTIC’s proposed iCampus projects on “Smart Learning – Edutainment” was presented to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai together with His Highness Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Interior of the UAE.
“Airbook: Augmented Interactive Reality Book ” was developed by KU students Ms. Hamda Al Ali Ms. Mona Al Housani Ms. Amena Al Zaabi and Ms. Hadeel Abdulwahed. The project was supervised by Dr Jason Ng (EBTIC) and Dr Jamal Zemerly (KU).
Airbook aims to promote book readings among the adult-learner communities within the UAE by enhancing the user experience. Known as “edutainment ” this field of research offers a synergetic combination of education and entertainment. Adult learners tend to focus more on the pragmatic context of book reading such as obtaining extra or in-depth information readily checking or translating portions of the text easily or even making contacts with the author or publisher conveniently via for instance social networking tools.
The book chosen for the project based on a previous EBTIC-Etisalat’s eLibrary pilot study was “My Vision” written by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum with the app created named as “My Vision-AIR.” The project has been completed with a number of highly positive responses received from a field trial with the general public.
