Prototype
For our demo prototype, four markers and their corresponding 3D digital models are made for the components including two Resistors, one Generator and one Bulb. A simple mock-up environment of a Serial or Parallel electrical circuit is set up, which allows the user to input the three different types of components in four pre-designed slots. The system displays the relevant captured information, sends back the type of Resistors chosen, and makes some simple calculations based on the Ohm’s Law. It then prints out the relevant teaching materials/data to the user, like the total resistance and the final current in the circuit.
The students are learning while playing, which may greatly improve their learning curves. The setting of the Augmented Physics Lab can also be easily adapted for various physical phenomenons |
