DirectAR: Teaching the basics of Cinematography Using Augmented Reality as Learning Tool

This paper examines the development of an augmented reality app that will be used as a tool for people interested in learning the conventions of cinematography. Augmented reality has demonstrated its value in various aspects of education, from helping highschoolers learn abstract concepts of chemistry, to medical and nursing training. DirectAR merges augmented reality with tried and tested visual language concepts in order to give its users a hands-on learning experience. This is possible due to the creation of AR characters that serve as models with which users of this app are able to grasp concepts by actually putting them into practice
