Augmented Reality and Quick Response Code Technology in Engineering Drawing Course

摘要

Augmented reality (AR) technology is a cutting technology. It can enhance the perception of reality and provide more information of the real world. AR technology is used in many fields, like medical, industry, and education. In this paper, AR is introduced into engineering drawing course. Engineering drawing course is difficult to learn as it is a knowledge that students rarely contact with. To have a close contact with the models and the views, a convenient AR application (AR app) is proposed in the paper. With the help of the AR app, virtual models and real views are combined well. The models can be moved and rotated by touching the screen. Some videos of model assembly and disassembly can be obtained when scanning the quick response code (QR code). Thus, it is convenient for students to use mobile phone to study engineering drawing effectively. The interactive teaching environment enhances students' spatial thinking and cultivates their sense of innovation.
