Abstract :
Mixed-Reality (MR) is placed between real environment and virtual environment. An advantage of real environment is to receive physical information. In the meantime, an advantage of virtual environment is to receive visual information. Mixed-Reality is able to include these advantages. Our group paid attention to Mixed-Reality and developed the system for electrical experiment. This report describes development of the Mixed-Reality (MR) laboratory using ARToolKit. Result of this effort, it was able to give a prospect in the development of the MR laboratory. Our group will continues development of system of the MR laboratory. In parallel with the development of the system, we will evaluate the educational usefulness and usability of this system.
