Augmented Reality Lab for Geotechnical Engineering

The Augmented Reality Lab for Geotechnical Engineering (ALG-AR-Geotech-Lab) is an augmented reality application designed to support undergraduate civil engineering students as they learn standard geotechnical laboratory tests. Instead of relying only on written manuals or short demonstrations, students can hold a mobile device over printed markers in the lab and see 3D equipment, step-by-step instructions, and safety reminders overlaid directly on their physical workspace. The goal is to make each test more intuitive, repeatable, and accessible for students who may be performing the procedure on their own or outside scheduled demonstration times.
