Design and Implementation of Teaching Assistant System for Mechanical Course based on Mobile AR Technology

Augmented reality technology has become a hot spot in many fields because of its unique real-time interaction and the ability to add virtual objects in 3D video space. To enable students better understand and master traditional mechanical courses and solve the limitations of the courseware teaching method, a teaching assistant system based on Vuforia platform is designed and developed by combining augmented reality technology with existing teaching methods. On the smartphone application side, the 3D model of parts can be displayed by scanning mechanical engineering drawings, which can rotate, zoom, and section view the model. It realizes 3D visualization and interactive operation of 2D drawings in textbooks and achieves the purpose of image, diversity and efficient teaching. The results show that this method can not only promote the cognition of spatial relations based on visualization, but also create a situational learning environment based on experience, which can effectively improve the learning effect of courses and enhance students' interest and enthusiasm in learning.
