“…AR technology has been applied in analog circuit analysis [38]- [48], digital circuit analysis [49]- [51], both analog and digital [52], and in circuits using passive components or for placing components on a breadboard [53], [54]. ARCC [38] is an AR application that explains electrical circuit concepts and clarifies misconceptions by analogies. For example, the bicycle chain analogy explains chain's speed as current and energy transfer to the back wheel as the battery transferring energy to the load.…”

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are one of the key advances in technology in the last decade. Their usage is rapidly increasing across various contexts. The COVID-19 pandemic and the pressing need for remote learning tools that imitate as close as possible real training environments motivated more research and investigation of AR/VR tools. We present in this work a review of the applications of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in electrical engineering education. We apply a methodological review of all available publications in this area and classify them according to the application. We ask key research questions regarding these publications. We present recommendations for researchers and educators who want to apply these promising technologies.

“…However, the analogy has its limitations when it comes to more complex circuits with parallel branches (see table 1) [25]. Another clear limitation of the analogy lies in the fact that it only provides students with a very rudimentary concept of voltage as the 'driving force' of the electric current.…”

An analogical simulation for teaching electric circuits: a rationale for use in lower secondary school

2021

Understanding simple electric DC circuits often represents a great challenge to many students in lower secondary schools. As a result, students’ knowledge of this subject is often dominated by alternative conceptions, even after instruction. One of the reasons for these learning difficulties is the intangibility of key physical quantities and concepts of electric circuits such as the electric potential or the electric current. A potentially effective way of making circuits more accessible to students in introductory electricity lessons represents the use of analogies or models. However, as a brief review shows, there is no single analogy or model that is ideally suited to foster an understanding of all key aspects of simple DC circuits. In order to address this issue and help learners develop a mental model of circuits, a new analogical simulation of simple electric circuits was developed. The simulation is suited for use in combination with the bike chain and the air pressure analogy and aims to support students’ development of a qualitative understanding of potential difference and current in circuits as well as a treatment of circuits as a connected system. Teachers and students can access the 3D simulation free of charge using a modern browser via www.marblemodel.com.

“…Past approaches on applying computer visions on circuit inspection such as [7], [8] focus on printed circuit boards (PCB), which are professionally manufactured in a controlled environment. Recently, [9], [10] also present ARbased circuit simulators for educational purpose, but they do not utilize a real breadboard so the learners' transition from virtual to real circuit building would be more difficult. A system similar to ours was recently suggested in [11], which does not demonstrate its feasibility with actual results.…”

Building electronic circuits is one of the most common hands-on activities in learning STEM subjects. Beginning students often find it difficult to translate a circuit schematic into the construction of the physical circuit on a breadboard. In this paper, we describe an Augmented Reality circuit learning software that can provide students with step-by-step instructions by placing virtual circuit components on a physical breadboard. We propose a novel image processing pipeline that can robustly identify the planar structure of a breadboard, even in the presence of occluding circuit components on the breadboard. Using a commercially available library of 3D circuit component models, the estimated 3D structure of the breadboard allows us to render arbitrary circuit components on it in real time. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithms are accurate and can produce realistic-looking virtual circuits.
