DREAMLABS, A SOFTWARE BASED AUGMENTED REALITY TO SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THOUGHT AND LEARNING FOR STUDENTS OF BASIC EDUCATION, USING ARTOOLKIT

According to Piaget, the construction of thought is through the formalization of the information, so that the individual may transmit to other independent methods. The phase of children's learning is of great significance as to reflect the adult stage of a human being. Development and construction of thought in children's education is primarily through the geometric shapes and principles of measurement of length, so the proposed software called Dreamlabs if using the modeling software ARToolKit, is a free software built for the development of Augmented Reality applications, which uses techniques of computer vision, image processing and programming for its operation, using techniques of image processing algorithms optimization and compression, has a proposal to build life-size interactive spaces, based on the theory of augmented reality (usually defined as the superposition of three-dimensional virtual objects generated by computer, with a real environment, through some technological device) where the overlap of three-dimensional virtual objects are generated by a computer, so they have great utility in teaching mathematics, science and history of mankind, through four sub-systems such as direct optical vision system, directly by video, video-based monitor, by optical projection. Promoting greater participation and identification with children, hence the collaboration between individuals of the same class.
