Abstract

When learning physics, electromagnetism is one of the most difficult concepts for students to understand. This paper proposes a real time visualization method for 3D magnetic field based on the augmented reality (AR) technology, which can not only visualize magnetic flux lines in real time, but also simulate the approximate sparse distribution of magnetic flux lines in space. An application utilizing the proposed approach is also presented, which permits students to freely and interactively move the magnets in 3D space and observe the magnetic flux lines in real time. An experiment is conducted to evaluate the application and its result shows that the application utilizing the proposed method can visualize the invisible physical phenomenon of 3D magnetic field, which has significant supplemental learning effects for students.
