Book cover Embedded Engineering Education

Abstract

This study presents an Augmented Reality Interface for engineering education. The interface, designed to use Augmented Reality to facilitate learning, is composed of both specific software and hardware elements and provides useful information and assistance in Electronic Laboratories. The document first presents the overall system and its objectives under the E2LP project. Then its components, their functioning and adaptation to educational purposes are discussed in detail. The study concludes with the approach of the scalability of the system and its future use in classrooms.
