3D augmented reality (AR) book
Our book presents the methods and equipment for measuring physical quantities, complemented by the unique visuals of augmented reality.
The experiential world of the publication helps to acquire and deepen new knowledge in an easy style. In our virtual lab, we show how various physical quantities are measured, what tools we can use for these, and what each unit of measurement means. Mass, volume, gas flow rate, or tensile strength. These are some of the most common physical measurement topics that we have collected in our book.
