VARS

VARS is an interactive app that teaches about structural system and components.

The aim of this project is to create a mobile application where virtual reality (VR) 360 and augmented reality (AR) can be used as an innovative teaching and learning aid for non-engineering students to learn to:

• identify different structural elements in real life setting,

• explain the difference between the different load types,

• comprehend load transfer pathways in structural systems,

• visualise deformation and failure modes of structural elements under different loading conditions, and

• identify the different materials used in different structures.
