The application supports students in learning interior layout design, interior design symbols, and the effects of different design layout decisions. Utilizing the latest AR technology, users can place 3D models of virtual objects as e.g., chairs or tables on top of a design layout plan and interact with these on their mobile devices. Students can experience alternative design decision in real-time and increases the special perception of interior designs. Our system fully supports the import of interior deployment layouts and the generation of 3D models based on design artefacts based on typical design layout plan design symbols and allows the user to investigate different design alternatives. We applied John Keller\u2019s Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction (ARCS) learning motivation model to validate our solution to examine the students\u2019 willingness and verify the ability of students to improve learning through MAR technology. We compared a sample experimental group of N = 52 test-subjects with a sample of N = 48 candidates in a control group. Learning indicators as learning interest, confidence, satisfaction and effective have been utilized to assess the students\u2019 learning motivation through the use of MAR technology. The learning results have been determined by the independent sample t testing. The significance of the post-test had a p-value &lt; 0.05 difference. The result of the study clearly shows that the reference group utilizing MAR technology as a learning aid show a higher learning effectiveness as the control group. Thus, we conclude that MAR technology does enhance students\u2019 learning ability for interior design and making appropriate design decisions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20010105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,24]],"date-time":"2019-12-24T05:56:15Z","timestamp":1577166975000},"page":"105","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":87,"title":["Applying Mobile Augmented Reality (AR) to Teach Interior Design Students in Layout Plans: Evaluation of Learning Effectiveness Based on the ARCS Model of Learning Motivation Theory"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5776-1463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuh-Shihng","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Management, National Chin-Yi University of Technology, No.57, Sec. 2, Zhongshan Rd., Taiping Dist., Taichung 41170, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Inter Design, Asia University, Taichung 413, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuo-Jui","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Color &amp; Illumination Technology, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, No.43, Sec.4, Keelung Rd., Da\u2019an Dist., Taipei 10607, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Wei","family":"Chiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digital Content Design, Ling Tung University, No.1, Ling tung Rd., Taichung 408, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Artur","family":"Lugmayr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edith Cowan University (ECU), 6000 Perth, Australia"},{"name":"Aalto University, 2150 Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.3102\/00346543053004445","article-title":"Reconsidering research on learning from media","volume":"53","author":"Clark","year":"1983","journal-title":"Rev.
