Application of Virtual Reality Technology in Experimental Teaching of Mechanical Engineering

EasyChair Preprint no. 2456

Abstract

The virtual experiment technology, with the help of multimedia, simulation, artificial intelligence, database technology and virtual reality (VR) technology, can create a computer-assisted, partially or totally replace the relevant hardware and software operating environment of the traditional experiment operation links. Virtual experiment technology is based on a virtual experimental environment (platform simulation), which focuses on the interaction of experimental operation and the simulation of experimental results. The experimenter can accomplish all kinds of experimental projects as in real environment, and the experimental results obtained are equivalent to or even better than those obtained in real environment. In the process of experiment teaching, Northeast University attaches great importance to the construction of virtual simulation experiment. It adheres to the experimental teaching ideas of "laying equal stress on physical experiment and virtual experiment", "laying equal stress on in-school learning and off-campus practice", "laying equal stress on theoretical learning and scientific research", and develops a series of virtual simulation experiment teaching courseware based on virtual reality technology. Practice shows that reasonable application of virtual reality technology can enhance the vividness of experimental teaching content, deepen students' perceptual understanding of complex mechanical equipment, facilitate students to understand and master the design method, manufacturing process, assembly process and fault diagnosis method of complex mechanical equipment, and help to cultivate students' practical ability and innovation ability.

Keyphrases: Mechanical Engineering, virtual manufacturing, virtual reality technology, virtual simulation experiment
