Virtual trainer for mobile augmented reality based electrical lighting installation

Abstract

Virtual trainer of mobile Augmented Reality (AR)-based Electrical Lighting Installation is a technology that can be utilized as a substitute for either conventional or modern virtual-based trainers. It can be used anywhere and anytime with the help of an Android-based smartphone device. As a learning aid, the development of AR technology helps users to interact directly with lighting installation components for residential use in a virtual form that has been designed to resemble the actual form. In developing the application, several procedures must be performed before it is ready to use. The result of the study is an application which provides a 3D simulation of single-phase installation to help students understand the electrical components for residential lighting installation using the AR mobile technology.
