Virtual and Augmented Reality for Mechatronics based Applications

Virtual reality (VR) is a rapidly growing medium of technology in its initial stages. Innumerable applications of its use are yet to be explored or properly implemented. One such forum is in the field of education. At the state of this pandemic implementation of virtual reality could prove to be a critical solution for students facing a creative gap of understanding or overcome the difficulties faced while maintaining an engaging environment over two dimensional screens. People of all ages loves to experiment and work with new technology and are more engrossed with it. VR thereby provides the users with a new medium to interact and investigate global phenomena or scenic environments with a completely different perspective within the safe confines of a classroom. This paper highlights the various applications and implementation of this technology along with the accompanying gear. The ease with which simple applications could be created for the purpose of VR/AR display over Unity-3D was practiced. Overall, the paper highlights how Augmented and Virtual reality can reinvent the field of education with the ingenuity it provides.
