TCP/IP ve OSI modeli öğretimi için etkileşimli artırılmış gerçeklik ortamı geliştirme

Öz

Artırılmış Gerçeklik (AR), sanal içeriklerin gerçek dünya ile sorunsuz bir şekilde bütünleşmesine olanak tanıyan, akıllı telefon, tablet gibi el tipi görüntüleyiciler veya ön kameraya sahip VR başlıklar aracılığı ile görüntülenen bir teknolojidir. Bu teknolojinin en önemli özelliği soyut kavramları görselleştirmesidir. Birçok çalışma, TCP/IP ve OSI modellerinin, ayrıntılı soyut kavramlar ve protokoller içermesi nedeniyle veri iletişimlerinin son derece karmaşık olduğunu bildirmektedir. Farklı sistemleri birbirine bağlamak, iki uç nokta arasında veri akışı oluşturmak ve katmanlar arasında veri dönüşümleri yapmak bu karmaşıklıklardan sadece birkaçıdır. Bu çalışmada, TCP/IP ve OSI modelleri gibi öğrenilmesi zor olan soyut kavramların öğretiminde AR ortamların çözüm olup olmadığının belirlenmesine yönelik bir araştırma yürütülmüştür. Amaç, öğrencilerin TCP/IP ve OSI gibi kavramların temel bilgilerini öğrenebilecek ve ağ deneyimlerini iyileştirebilecek bir AR ağ tasarım ortamı geliştirmektir. Bu ortam, ağ düğümlerin zekice davrandığı ve IP adreslerin dinamik yönetildiği yeni bir oyun temelli mobil eğitim yöntemini temel almaktadır. Bu sayede kullanıcılar TCP/IP ve OSI modellerinin soyut kavramlarını mobil AR başlığı ile her yerde 3B, etkileşimli ve uygulamalı öğrenme fırsatı bulmuştur. Deneysel sonuçlar, somut arayüz etkileşimlerinin ve AR ortamların öğrenciler için faydalı bir öğretim aracı olduğunu göstermiştir.

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows virtual content to be seamlessly integrated with the real world, viewed via handheld viewers such as smartphones, tablets, or VR headsets with a front camera. The most important feature of this technology is that it visualizes abstract concepts. Many studies report that data communications are extremely complex because TCP/IP and OSI models contain elaborate abstract concepts and protocols. Connecting disparate systems, creating data flows between two endpoints, and performing data transformations between layers are just a few of these complexities. In this study, a research is conducted to determine whether AR environments are the solution for teaching abstract concepts that are difficult to learn such as TCP/IP and OSI models. The aim is to develop an AR network design environment in which students can learn the basics of concepts such as TCP/IP and OSI and improve their network experience. This environment is based on a new gamebased mobile training method in which network nodes behave intelligently and IP addresses are dynamically managed. In this way, users have the opportunity to learn the abstract concepts of TCP/IP and OSI models in 3D, interactive and hands-on with the mobile AR headset anywhere. Experimental results have shown that concrete interface interactions and AR environments are useful teaching tools for students.
