First, though a few students chose to use their personal mobile devices, alimited number of Android and iOS tablets were made available for checkout (which were sharedwith another course). Second, students had access to a gaming lab that had many media-relatedsoftware packages available, including the full academic licenses to Unity, enabling them tobuild and deploy to mobile devices. Game engines like Unity provide extensive support forcommon game-related elements, such as graphics rendering, physics, 3D model import,animation, and the behavioral scripting of game objects. Further, the AR plug-ins leverageexisting metaphors that game developers are familiar with. However, for
