Control of a remote laboratory by augmented reality

A variety of advanced learning technologies has emerged to enhance learning, promote hands-on experiences, and increase interest in engineering and technical education. The possibility of access to a superior education is on hands of a great number of students while the resources which are available do not increase in the same way, limiting the quality of the teaching, so, it is necessary to look for alternatives that insure an access to the resources of a way regular, monitored an efficient. The remote laboratories avoid these gaps, however the development of these laboratories is of a great cost and their application is very specific. The fact of adding virtual information to the observed results by the students increases the quantity of information, provides us a great absorption of the contents and an expansion of the case studies. That is why it is possible to add the answer to questions like why this happens, or what would happen if the conditions of the experiment were different. The augmented reality provides an easy way to control a remote laboratory, creating a realist, simple and practical interface from any place in the world. To achieve the objectives mentioned above, this document shows how you can control a remote laboratory with augmented reality.
