Application of augmented reality to study descriptive geometry

Abstract

This article analyzes the problems of the development of spatial thinking of students in the development of the discipline "Descriptive geometry", solving projection problems and proposes their solution using the technology of augmented reality. The concept and technology of augmented reality, tracking technologies are considered. The substantiation of the relevance and timeliness of its use to support educational processes is given. The article explores the use of augmented reality technologies in teaching students' spatial thinking, which saves time on the transfer and assimilation of information received by students within the framework of this discipline. The analysis of existing research in the field of application of augmented reality technology in teaching the discipline "Descriptive geometry" is carried out. The possibility of using augmented reality technology in education for the purpose of visual presentation of educational material is shown. A project for the development of a mobile AR application for visualizing the tasks of a textbook on descriptive geometry based on the Vuforia platform is considered. The proposed software product is implemented on a mobile platform with the Android operating system. When developing software, the C # programming language is used to write scripts to implement the required functionality, in particular, interactive interaction with three-dimensional objects.
