Description
Summary:This study combined augmented reality (AR) with the three-dimensional pop-up book format to enhance children’s visual learning through reading and to prompt their imagination and creativity. Twenty subjects, aged six to eight, carried out a course based on reading an AR pop-up book and then created drawings for 1.5 hours per week for four weeks. The effect of children’s drawing creativity was assessed by the Test for Creative Thinking–Drawing Production (TCT–DP) and semi-structured interviews. The results show that the AR pop-up book increased the children’s overall creativity, including the abilities of fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, and sensitivity. The AR pop-up book induced the children’s interest in drawing and heightened the creative impact therein.
