Physics learning media based Augmented Reality (AR) for electricity concepts

Abstract

Physics concepts are unique because some of them are the abstract concepts so they need to be visualized so as easier to be understood. However, it is rarely the learning media that can combine the real and virtual visualization of abstract physics concepts in the same time. This present study aims to create the application that is used as the physics learning media to aid the virtual visualization of the abstract concept of physics combined with real visualization using augmented reality. The abstract concepts of physics that are visualized are electricity concepts. The waterfall method is the method utilized to test the application on the android system. There are four standards to analyze data, namely functional suitability, performance efficiency, portability, and usability. The findings reveal that two standards (i.e., performance efficiency, and portability) lead the application is valid and good to be used while the usability standard achieves high value based students’ questionnaire that means the application is valid. The implication of this present study indeed can be widened to implement the application on the physics learning in the classroom.

AR4FSM: Mobile Augmented Reality Application in Engineering Education for Finite-State Machine Understanding

“…A total of 60 students (aged [19][20][21][22] from the department of Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering (ECSE) took part in the study. Both male and female undergraduate students were included.…”

“…In engineering education, the use of visual representations and physical models is very important, as their absence makes it hard to grasp difficult concepts in an abstract way and means students must rely on mere imagination. AR is particularly helpful in such cases, and it is used in electrical engineering for explaining concepts related to magnetism [19], electricity [20], and antenna waves [21].…”

Development of an augmented reality mobile physics application to study electric circuits

“…AR is an attempt to combine the real and virtual world created with the help of computers so that the line between them becomes too fine [7,11]. Simply to interpret, the AR can be defined as a real environment added to the virtual objects [16,20].…”

“…The efficient use of AR technology, including in physics, is verified by researchers from different countries of the world. Thus, according to the Ismail et al [20], branches of physics, such as electrics and magnetism, are explicate and the students face difficulties in studying even the basic notions, as a result, the students treat physics as difficult and dull. The authors note that to develop basic understanding, it is better to use the information technology in the form of multimedia or software that gives an opportunity for the students to visualize the learning material.…”
