Building AR-based Optical Experiment Applications in a VR Course
Huan Wei, Yue Liu, Yongtian Wang · 2019
The demand for VR courses in universities is growing since VR technology is widely used in industry, entertainment, and education today. Traditional lectures and exercises have problems in motivating and engaging students, especially non-CS-majors. We design a VR course with a teamwork project assignment for Opto-Electronic Engineering undergraduates, providing them with project-based learning (PBL) experience. The task requires three students to group a team to build an AR-based optical experiment application over the course, aiming to develop students' practical engineering ability. The process of the project consists of three main stages: preparation, designing and implementing. We also evaluate students' work from different aspects and survey to analyze the students' attitude toward the project.
