Web-based VR engine in electrical engineering: A proof of concept

Abstract

In the present study an experimental proof of concept for implementation of a web-based virtual reality engine in electrical engineering has been performed. The main idea is that the engine should allow to easily create new virtual equipment using variables, operations and virtual components (buttons, switches, potentiometers, etc.). Several laboratory equipment have been implemented in the database of the engine and considering their complexity and variety we can conclude that the approach is feasible to virtualize most of the equipment used in electrical engineering education.
