Augmented Gardening System with Personalized Pedagogical Agents

—Recently, many researchers have studied on animated pedagogical agents to improve students’ learning experience in educational systems. In this paper, we describe how personalized pedagogical agents can be applied into AR educational applications. We have developed the augmented gardening system which provides users with opportunity to explore physiological and environmental considerations that govern flowering via their mobile devices. The users can interact with a bluebird, as an animated pedagogical agent, which is superimposed over a physical marker. The bluebird assists them in achieving the goals with personalized guidance suitable for their background and experience on the gardening.
