Abstract

This study aims to contribute to the electronics education through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology, and thus, limit the dependency on a physical environment and the equipment required for the experiments performed in electronics education. In this regard, an Augmented Reality-based mobile application (ARElectronicLab) has been designed to provide a technology-reality blended experience of electronic circuits in real physical life. This AR-based mobile application has been used to create simulations of diode clipper circuit and inverting operational amplifier circuit. The mobile application operates with a marker in real life and enables monitoring of 3D simulations of electronic components through a touch screen. Hence, the application offers a real-like experience and brings an innovative and enriching perspective into the electronics education.
