Development and Application of an Application with Augmented Reality Technology for Training Future Aircraft Designers

Abstract

This article discusses the creation of an application with augmented reality technology, in order to improve the process of training skilled professionals in the field of aircraft engineering among students of higher education institutions. The application allows students to study and test their knowledge about the main aircraft units located in the aircraft class of the Department of Aircraft Construction and Design. This project is an Android-based application with the recognition of details on real objects (aircraft units) arranged in the class. The following tools and technologies have been used to create the application: Blender 3D for modeling objects, Unity 3D for creating the application interface and Vuforia Engine as a developer's toolkit.
