Abstract

Virtual reality technology has been applied in virtual labs and remote experiment teaching. This paper designs an electronic circuit virtual laboratory based on virtual reality technology, and relevant experimental teaching content. The system uses Unity 3D and 3ds max tools to build a three-dimensional model of general instrumentation, electronic components, and laboratory scenes in electronic circuit experiments. The C# is used to develop general virtual instrumentation functions and electronic circuit simulation, the electronic circuit virtual reality laboratory based on VR equipment was realized.

We have developed VR electronic circuit virtual laboratory on PC and web. Students can use VR electronic circuit virtual laboratory to learn basic electronic circuit knowledge and carry out electronic circuit virtual experiment immersively.

              Students can conduct experiments easily anytime and anywhere by using simulations in an interactive virtual environment without the need of real laboratory tools. They provide educators with tools, materials, and techniques set on computers to do experiments or on websites.

              What are the advantages and disadvantages of a virtual laboratory? ›

              They offer benefits such as flexibility, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness. However, there are some limitations to virtual labs. One limitation is the lack of realism and hands-on experience compared to traditional labs. Students may feel that virtual labs do not provide a realistic experience.

              What is simulation and virtual lab? ›

              The biggest difference between simulations and hands-on labs is that simulations are a replication of a specific use case or existing technology or software.
