The focus is on transforming the traditional simulation results into immersive, holographic displays, enabling users to experience and assess finite element analysis in three dimensions. The development process involves visualization in the software Unity, data processing by MATLAB, and the use of Microsoft's Hololens2 for displaying the holograms. The most important advancements include the ability to visualize complex clamping situations, enhancing understanding and engagement in engineering education. The application was tested in a real machining environment, revealing significant performance improvements with help of an external PC and offering an immersive learning experience. This work not only demonstrates the technical feasibility of such applications but also opens new avenues for interactive and engaging learning in engineering education. education augmented reality machining clamping fixture finite element analysis Full Text Cite Share Download PDF Status: Published Journal Publication published 06 Jun, 2024 Read the published version in The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology → Version 1 posted Editorial decision: Major Revisions Needed 08 Apr, 2024 Reviewers agreed at journal 03 Mar, 2024 Reviewers invited by journal 14 Feb, 2024 Editor assigned by journal 08 Feb, 2024 First submitted to journal 08 Feb, 2024 You are reading this latest preprint version Research Square lets you share your work early, gain feedback from the community, and start making changes to your manuscript prior to peer review in a journal.
