Development of Virtual Laboratory Through Hand Motion Detector in Order to Improve Psychomotor Skills Student of Vocational High School

Abstract: The students interact directly in virtual laboratory with a simulator or remote equipment, and it is desirable that the experience will be similar to a real lab. There are many ways by which a student could attain this experience -through real experimental activities or through computer human interactions. These computer based multimedia environment and cohesive with hardware. These environments offer students a means to explore, experience, express themselves, and train psychomotoric. In a Digital Electronics virtual environment, the students can posit hypotheses about a engineering concept, conduct as many experiments as they want. In this paper the virtual laboratory design based on macromedia flash (software) and hand movement detection (hardware). Have implemented a virtual lab for the user especially vocational students (SMK), making practices more interesting and interactive through user interaction with computer using a periferal with hand movement detection that provides flexibility in operating. Combination of real and virtual lab which is integrated into the course material, can enrich the learning process, increase student’s interest and curiosity, enhance the ability of psychomotor with hands-on

Development Of Virtual Laboratory Touchscreen Based For The Student Of Vocational High School In Order To Support The Practice Learning

The students interact directly in virtual laboratory with a simulator or remote equipment, and it is desirable that the experience will be similar to a real lab. There are many ways by which a student could attain this experience - through real experimental activities or through computer generated interactions. These computer based multimedia environment could be collections of images, animations, simulations, authoring tools, games or virtual reality. These environments offer students a means to explore, experience and express themselves. In a Digital Electronics virtual environment, the students can posit hypotheses about a engineering concept, conduct as many experiments as they want start AND gates until aplication of digital gates circuit, observe and record data and draw conclusions. This might not always be possible in real laboratory because of many reasons. In this paper the virtual laboratory design based on macromedia flash and J2ME touchscreen media with the framework of android. Have implemented a virtual lab for the user especially vocational students (SMK), making practices more interesting through user interaction using a mobile with touchscreen facility that provides flexibility in operating. Combination of real and virtual lab which is integrated into the syllabus, can enrich the learning process and increase student’s interest and curiosity
