Augmented Reality-Based Simulation of Some Basic Electrical Circuits Which Requires Oscilloscope for Analysis without Hardware

Abstract

This study aims to contribute to the electronics education through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology, and thus, limit the dependency on a physical environment and the equipment required for the experiments performed in electronics education. In this regard, an Augmented Reality-based mobile application (ARElectronicLab) has been designed to provide a technology-reality blended experience of electronic circuits in real physical life. This AR-based mobile application has been used to create simulations of diode clipper circuit and inverting operational amplifier circuit. The mobile application operates with a marker in real life and enables monitoring of 3D simulations of electronic components through a touch screen. Hence, the application offers a real-like experience and brings an innovative and enriching perspective into the electronics education.
