“…Virtual Reality (VR), in simple terms, is a computer-simulated environment which enables the user to interact with and alter their perception as a result of a mixture of sensory information sent to the human brain [11]. VR, as it exists today, is a result of many years of technological and microprocessors development capable of high-level computation at an affordable price.…”

“…Sensorama is a stationary version of what is known today as a Head Mounted Display (HMD), where it plays a pre-recorded movie on a stereoscopic 3D display, with stereo sound, fans, scents generator, and a vibrating chair to stimulate the user's senses and "immerse" the user into the movie [13]. Fast forward to 1984, the first monochrome stereoscopic HMD called as Virtual Interactive Environment Workstation (VIEW) lab was created by Scott Fisher at NASA's Aerospace Human Factors Research Division [11,12]. VIEW resembled all the elements used today in a HMD including audio, body tracking, tactile and forced feedback, and connections to telerobotic systems, which made it interactive, in contrast to previous devices [14].…”

“…Immersion is an important attribute of a VR experience and commonly defined as disconnecting the user from the real world and giving them a sense of being/presence in the virtual world [2,11,22] and is often referred to as Spatial Immersion [19,23]. Contrary to popular belief, immersion and presence are different from each other [24].…”

The advancement of VR technology through the increase in its processing power and decrease in its cost and form factor induced the research and market interest away from the gaming industry and towards education and training. In this paper, we argue and present evidence from vast research that VR is an excellent tool in engineering education. Through our review, we deduced that VR has positive cognitive and pedagogical benefits in engineering education, which ultimately improves the students’ understanding of the subjects, performance and grades, and education experience. In addition, the benefits extend to the university/institution in terms of reduced liability, infrastructure, and cost through the use of VR as a replacement to physical laboratories. There are added benefits of equal educational experience for the students with special needs as well as distance learning students who have no access to physical labs. Furthermore, recent reviews identified that VR applications for education currently lack learning theories and objectives integration in their design. Hence, we have selected the constructivist and variation learning theories as they are currently successfully implemented in engineering education, and strong evidence shows suitability of implementation in VR for education.

“…A very recent work [ 10 ] investigates the integration of the AR technology in different fields, such as education and culture, and analyzes future research directions. Another survey [ 11 ] also presents a historical overview of the augmented reality domain, illustrating the requirements and challenges of typical AR systems and identifying research opportunities in this area. These papers emphasize several challenges of the augmented reality domain that are relevant for our system.…”

Virtual and augmented reality technologies have known an impressive market evolution due to their potential to provide immersive experiences. However, they still have significant difficulties to enable fully fledged, consumer-ready applications that can handle complex tasks such as multi-user collaboration or time-persistent experiences. In this context, CultReal is a rapid creation and deployment platform for augmented reality (AR), aiming to revitalize cultural spaces. The platform’s content management system stores a representation of the environment, together with a database of multimedia objects that can be associated with a location. The localization component fuses data from beacons and from video cameras, providing an accurate estimation of the position and orientation of the visitor’s smartphone. A mobile application running the localization component displays the augmented content, which is seamlessly integrated with the real world. The paper focuses on the series of steps required to compute the position and orientation of the user’s mobile device, providing a comprehensive evaluation with both virtual and real data. Pilot implementations of the system are also described in the paper, revealing the potential of the platform to enable rapid deployment in new cultural spaces. Offering these functionalities, CultReal will allow for the fast development of AR solutions in any location.

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are one of the key advances in technology in the last decade. Their usage is rapidly increasing across various contexts. The COVID-19 pandemic and the pressing need for remote learning tools that imitate as close as possible real training environments motivated more research and investigation of AR/VR tools. We present in this work a review of the applications of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in electrical engineering education. We apply a methodological review of all available publications in this area and classify them according to the application. We ask key research questions regarding these publications. We present recommendations for researchers and educators who want to apply these promising technologies.
