Abstract

There is a trend in industries towards adoption of new technologies coming from Industry 4.0 to improve logistics operations. This has also led to new requirements on engineering education. This paper presents work in progress on a mixed reality game that is intended to be used for the education on engineers and engineering students in the blended lab environments. The game itself consist of a physical and a digital component, and the focus in this article is to describe the design and prototypical implementation of the physical part and how that can be operated in a remote lab environment.
