Investigation of the Impact of Augmented Reality Technology on Interactive Teaching Learning Process

Background

Various study shows that augmented reality technology offers many advantages in teaching and learning process. Akçayır et al. (2016) stated prerequisite for the use of augmented reality such as hardware (head mounted display, mobile devices, tablets etc,) and internet connection. And AR applications are more useful in education when these prerequires are fulfil (Samuel, 2016). Various study shows that augmented reality technology offers Whereas maximum implementation of AR is implemented in science field and lack in mechanical engineering graphics (Cheng & Tsai, 2013). Some application is found in mechanical engineering are scattered over different subject and basically are at research level.

Liarokapis et al. (2004) first used virtual reality and augmented reality in education to allow user to experience 3D web content by using desktop-based application. He developed a XML-based data repository, communication server and desktop application and developed a multimedia content related to teaching mechanical engineering. An application named AR Flite was developed to visualize virtual 3D model at different angle, size by rotation and scaling. He used desktop based augmented reality model camshaft arrangement examining by user in conjunction with real engine components (Liarokapis et al., 2004).
