A demonstration of an augmented virtuality based solar energy power calculator in electrical engineering

The PhD work on Computer Aided Engineering Education (CAEE) scheme is concerned with the use of computer aids for the enhanced, interactive delivery of educational materials in the field of engineering while maintaining existing pedagogical contents and standards. The work considers two separate components, one for classroom and another for practical hands-on laboratory work in engineering. The CAEE component for hands-on laboratory practical work focuses on the use of mixed and augmented reality tools on mobile devices/platforms. This practical demonstration presents an augmented virtuality tool where real-time information from a mobile device's sensors is used directly within a virtual or computer generated environment. The tool highlights the ability of the CAEE tools to provide a practical context for hands-on exercise in tutorial classes.
