Abstract

Recent research has argued that an immersive reformulation of the concepts of anamorphosis and perspective can have beneficial effects on the teaching of these concepts to young students, and a didactic itinerary for Portuguese 9th grade students has been proposed and executed along these lines. A part of this reformulation is an integration with VR and AR visualizations which was implemented with off-the-shelf software. We report on both the advantages and limitations of these off-the-shelf platforms and propose adaptations and alternatives that might improve the didactic experience.
