Development of WebXR-based Environment for Engineering Experiments

This study presents an improved online/on-demand educational approach to engineering experiments by introducing an interactive 3D virtualized environment. This study aims to verify the possibility of the morphological evolution of fully online/on-demand engineering experiments by enabling the interactive operation of equipment and devices in a 3D virtual space. For this purpose, we developed an extended reality-based engineering experiment system that students can use through a web browser online/on-demand to conduct engineering experiments in a virtual space without requiring actual experimental equipment. By comparing the assessment results of the virtual experiments with on-campus real operation of equipment in the previous year, the educational effectiveness of introducing a virtualized environment that enables interactive online operation of 3D-modeled equipment on a web browser has been confirmed.
