Reconfigurable measurement setup for laboratory activities in augmented reality

The challenge of limited access to laboratory equipment relative to the students is a pervasive issue across many academic institutions. This limitation can deny practical learning experiences and hinder the understanding of theoretical concepts. Consequently, the development of innovative solutions to address this challenge is crucial for enhancing the quality of university education and Vocational Education and Training (VET).

The approach presented by the authors in this paper provides an effective solution using an IoT protocol for remote control of laboratory instrumentation and the Device Under Test (DUT). This solution not only addresses the issue of insufficient laboratory equipment availability but also opens new opportunities to enrich students' educational experiences. By enabling direct interaction with instrumentation and the DUT through remote platforms, students can acquire practical skills in a more flexible and accessible manner, without physical space constraints or equipment availability limitations.
