Experiencing Augmented Reality in Power Engineering Education

Augmented Reality is one of the emerging technologies with promising results in engineering education. While increasing the learning commitment and motivation, additional information is available and interdisciplinary links with connected domains are easier. Especially within laboratory experiments, augmented reality may show views of inner or unapproachable devices, field views, equipment handling and support lab experiments with guidance and supplementary information. The paper presents the results of the first stage implementation of Augmented Reality within laboratories in the field of power engineering. The feedback survey showed that students consider Augmented Reality to be a useful tool, best suited to allow a closer connection to practice and a faster learning for the lab work.
