Enhancing Academic Learning through AR/VR: A 3D Visualization Approach for DBMS

  • Unique Paper ID: 169856
  • PageNo: 2454-2456
  • Abstract:
  • Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are revolutionizing education by offering immersive and interactive learning environments. Despite their growing adoption, these technologies are underutilized in teaching abstract subjects such as Database Management Systems (DBMS). Concepts like relational data models, SQL operations, and normalization often seem intangible and difficult for students to grasp through conventional teaching methods. This paper introduces an innovative AR/VR-based educational application designed to enhance DBMS learning by providing interactive 3D visualizations. Students can explore dynamic Entity-Relationship (ER) diagrams, execute SQL queries with real-time animations, and interactively learn normalization processes. The tool was developed using Unity and Blender, with deployment on AR and VR platforms including Microsoft HoloLens and Oculus Quest.
