ARduino is a series of form explorations for modular augmented reality displays used during electronics making. Created in Fusion360.
Concept
The project explores how augmented reality can enhance the experience of electronics making and learning. By creating modular AR displays specifically designed for the electronics workbench, the project investigates how overlaying digital information onto physical components can improve understanding, guidance, and learning outcomes.
Technical Approach
- Form Exploration: Investigated various physical forms and configurations for modular AR displays
- CAD Development: Created designs using Fusion360 for prototyping and fabrication
- Application Context: Focused specifically on electronics making and learning scenarios
Research Questions
- How can modular AR displays enhance the electronics making experience?
- What form factors best serve hands-on technical learning?
- How can digital augmentation support rather than distract from physical making?
