Interactive Carpentry Training with Augmented Reality Technology

This research study presents a markerless augmented reality (AR) application that aims to deliver basic carpentry knowledge in an engaging, interactive, and informative learning experience. The application offers users to project the 3D model animations of different necessary carpentry hand tools like hacksaw, carpenter's glue, and hand plane into real-world spaces. Using a simulated but realistic context, user can visualize and practice appropriate tool usage which significantly helps to understand and learn faster. User testing showed that the app increased engagement and improved learning results when compared to traditional methods. The complete outcomes illustrate AR's power in some vocational training. It provides a very practical and affordable way to learn by doing. Future work will include scaling up the tool library and developing supported collaboration to deepen learning processes and extend interaction into more intricate aspects of carpentry.
