Research and design of VR-based mechanical simulation interaction and network experiment platform

Abstract

This article takes mechanical basic experimental courses as the research object, and makes full use of virtual simulation, computer graphics, Internet and other technologies to innovate experimental teaching content and methods. First, construct a mechanical basic experiment teaching system based on four levels: guided cognition, basic experiment, comprehensive design experiment and research and innovation experiment. Then, combined with the existing virtual simulation related hardware equipment of the college, a software and hardware virtual experiment platform integrating virtual 3D display and interaction is built. Finally, with the help of Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) and network technology, a Web-based 3D virtual experiment platform is designed. Through the research of this article, a basic mechanical experiment system can be constructed, the experimental teaching training program can be improved, and the engineering practice education level can be further improved. The virtual reality (VR) experiment platform proposed in this paper can improve existing teaching methods, expand experiment content, solve problems such as insufficient educational resources, and improve students’ interest and initiative in learning. The research of the network virtual p latform enables students to break through the limitations of time and space, and realize different levels of mechanical experimental courses, such as online learning and hands-on operation of guided cognition, basic experiments, comprehensive design experiments, etc.
