Volume 2, Issue 3 - 2 Articles
This issue presents two important research papers about new technology and early education. The first paper looks at how to show information better on augmented reality (AR) headsets. These are special glasses used in jobs like oil work, healthcare, and the military. The study found the best ways to display important information so people can understand it quickly and easily. This could help make these jobs safer. The second paper is about teaching young children, even as young as three, how to think like computers. This skill is becoming very important in schools worldwide. The researchers created a program to teach coding to very young children. It worked well and didn’t cost too much, so many schools could use it. Both papers offer new ideas that could change how we use technology and teach children.

Designing Critical and Secondary Information in Augmented Reality Headsets for Situational Awareness
by Julia Woodward, Jesse Smith, Isaac Wang, Sofia Cuenca and Jaime Ruiz
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page # 1-15, 2023; DOI: 10.55708/js0203001
Abstract: Augmented Reality (AR) headsets are being used in different contexts (e.g., the oil industry, healthcare, military); however, there is a lack of research and design recommendations on how information should be presented in the AR headset displays, especially for aiding users’ situational awareness. We present two studies: one examining if existing findings on the perceptibility… Read More

Coding: First Steps from Kindergarten up to Primary School
by Elisa Benetti and Gianluca Mazzini
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page # 16-30, 2023; DOI: 10.55708/js0203002
Abstract: Computational thinking is now featured in many school curricula around the world. It is in fact defined as the "new English", emphasizing its universally recognized indispensability. Despite this, the subject is almost never addressed until primary school where, however, hours dedicated to it are often too limited. Our first training proposal, including basic coding concepts… Read More
