Abstract: Applications of virtual reality and augmented reality have been proposed for engineering education. Cases on some electrical and mechanical systems have been studied. Virtual reality is a technology which allows people to interact directly with the computerized virtual environment. Based on computerized models, augmented reality is achieved by combining the additional virtual information with the real information, so that the augmented scene can be generated. Both techniques will enhance pattern recognition accuracy for electrical and mechanical systems, such as target identification and spectroscopic object recognition. Compared with conventional course instruction of image processing and signal processing, both techniques will significantly broaden the academic background of student learning with better understanding of theoretical methodologies. In addition, these techniques have the great potential to be successfully integrated with the education based software!
programs and hardware tools to improve pedagogical methods, such as the Matlab and Simulink, which can be used for data analysis, numerical simulation and advanced computing. Some practical examples in electrical and mechanical systems have been presented in the article.
