Abstract EN
This study combines the augmented reality technology and the sensor functions of GPS, electronic compass, and 3-axis accelerometer on mobile devices to develop a motion sensing and automatic positioning universal planisphere.
It can create local star charts according to the current date, time, and position and help users locate constellations on the planisphere easily through motion sensing operation.
By holding the mobile device towards the target constellation in the sky, the azimuth and elevation angles are obtained automatically for mapping to its correct position on the star chart.
The proposed system combines observational activities with physical operation and spatial cognition for developing correct astronomical concepts, thus making learning more effective.
It contains a built-in 3D virtual starry sky to enable observation in classroom for supporting teaching applications.
The learning process can be shortened by setting varying observation date, time, and latitude.
Therefore, it is a useful tool for astronomy education.
