CONSTRUÇÃO DE LABORATÓRIOS VIRTUAIS 3D PARA UTILIZAÇÃO EM ENGENHARIA ELETROTÉCNICA

Abstract

The use of virtual laboratory environments that resemble the reality, through 3D models, has become a common practice in school activities. The integration of new technologies must enable and support the work without affecting the process and the quality of the results. This paper suggests how to use 3D virtual laboratories and at the same time proposes 3D rendering techniques. It is necessary to evaluate the tools and techniques used, due to the high complexity and requirements placed on building 3D virtual environments, where speed is essential. It is a challenge for higher education institutions to train new engineers with the employment of these tools. This paper is a practice proposal related to the design, size and animation, for the development of 3D labs that simulate phenomena related to specific topics of Electrical Engineering, in higher education institutions, in order to increase the skills and knowledge gained in student learning.
