Virtual laboratory application development for mobile terminal

In order to confirm the theoretical knowledge it is important to perform experiments while learning the digital circuit design, which enhances the learning process. The digital design laboratories are often in short supply and introduces a number of limitations. The limitations includes smaller number of instruments and instrument stability, particularly in poor and developing countries. This paper reports the development of a mobile virtual laboratory application (VL-APP) digital design that help students to perform virtual experiments anywhere and anytime. It mainly utilizes simulation of experiments and provides a model and script for users to design experiments independently. The development utilizes Unity3D and 3ds-max for the software platform, and Android for the test installation environment. The test results demonstrates potential of the developed application.
