Development of an Augmented Reality System to Support the Teaching-Learning Process in Automotive Mechatronics

Abstract:

This article details the development of an augmented reality system to support the teaching-learning process, focused on the area of automotive mechatronics for gasoline vehicles. The application facilitates the user the interaction with the parts of the internal combustion engine in order to locate them in the assembly and disassembly process; in addition, the user can visualize the simulation of the thermodynamic cycle of the engine in improvements of the learning process. The geometric model of the elements of the Otto cycle internal combustion engine is made in CAD software, the development of the application and incorporation of the models and animations is done in Unity 3D. The execution of the Augmented Reality application during the pandemic originated by COVID-19 was essential to give continuity to the professional training process in the Automotive Mechatronics career, since the development of the teaching process was carried out solely online.
