Basic Electrical Installation Trainer Boards : Virtual Reality based Laboratory for Electrical Basic Education

Expensive practicum equipment, frequent accidents in learning, and lack of practicum equipment because damage after students use them, they are problems found in vocational schools. Due to these conditions, teachers need the effective learning media to minimize accidents and damage. Therefore, the author aims to design a learning media based on Virtual Reality (VR). VR is a virtual technology that allow user activities like in the real world in a different dimension. The method in this study using survey to prepare spec and design. The author designed a virtual laboratory, inside there are experiment boards to enable teachers and students to do practicum virtually. The goal, by practicing using VR, teachers and students can still practicum without worry about the limitations of the equipment. Expensive equipment also can be simulated virtually without fear of damage.
