Visuo-Haptic Simulations to Understand the Dependence of Electric Forces on Distance

Abstract: In this paper, the potential of visuo-haptic simulators to help engineering students to understand the nature of electric forces between different electric charge distributions is addressed. Three visuo-haptic simulators were designed to perceive the attractive–repulsive behavior as well as the dependence on distance of electrical forces for: (a) point charge, (b) line charge, and (c) plane charge. Design elements were incorporated to improve the 3D perception of the simulators. A sample of N = 111 engineering… Show more

“…There are several examples in the literature about the design, implementation, and evaluation of the impact of using visuo-haptic environments with educational purposes, such as frictional forces [21][22][23], the Coriolis effect [8], precession [23], fluids concepts [7], chemical bonding [24], and electric forces [6,25,26]. These studies suggest that embodied learning significantly contributes to a better understanding of abstract concepts dealing with forces.…”

“…After developing several visuo-haptic simulators for the teaching of physics in OpenGL and Unity environments [6,22,[28][29][30], the main contribution of this work is the identification of a methodology to facilitate the conceptualization, design, implementation, and evaluation of visuo-haptic environments aiming to foster the understanding and applications of physics and science concepts by engineering students in order to develop skills within the framework of Education 4.0.…”
