Abstract
It is noteworthy that augmented reality is a technology used for educational purposes along with a
wide range of applications ranging from defense industry to construction, medicine to automotive. In this paper,
a recognition-based AR application named ARKTUNApp that can be used on basic electrical circuits in the
field of electrical and electronics engineering was developed under these conditions, especially when the
COVID-19 pandemic necessitates distance education. A QR code was identified as the marker, a booklet was
prepared and it consisted of such basic circuit examples as short circuit, open circuit, circuit with seriesconnected resistors, circuit with parallel-connected resistors, RLC circuit, diode and LED circuit, environmental
currents method and node voltage method with QR codes. When the users scan them, they can observe 3D
simulations and animations of those circuit examples thanks to the AR application developed. Using Vuforia
SDK as the software development kit and Unity3D as the application development platform, it was aimed to
concretize abstract concepts and enhance interactive educational experiences. In addition, C# programming
language was used to develop this application for smart devices with Android operating system. 30 students
participated in the user study and their feedback about the AR application developed was obtained with a
questionnaire.
