Desarrollo de una aplicación Android para la Tele-educación en la simulación del Control de una caldera basado en realidad aumentada

Abstract

Higher education is one of the economic activities with the highest incidence, not only because of its knowledge but also because of the effects it has on all aspects of the economy in a country. Thus, tele-education and ICTs have become a new instrument, a didactic tool that helps improve teaching and learning, despite the fact that tele-education technology has been available for more than 20 years. The purpose of this research is to develop a mobile application with augmented reality, aimed at providing a pedagogical tool focused on the control and modeling of a horizontal fire tube boiler for the students of the UPS in the city of Guayaquil. To do this, a survey was applied to potential clients and / or consumers of the proposed prototype. The main scientific novelty of this research project focuses on the use and application of augmented reality oriented to tele-education and to the modeling and control of systems such as boilers. What will provide and facilitate the interaction of information. As well as establishing solutions to the parameters and variables through the use of mathematical and statistical methods. The preparation of the present investigation required a review of other studies and investigations for the foundation and support of the theoretical basis on fundamental definitions of augmented reality, mobile application, tele-education and boiler control. All this being the compendium to be considered within the study, as well as the current legal regulations and the creation of a glossary of terms. Likewise, the data collection, modeling and control of the boiler that allowed its simulation through the analysis of control equations; with the simulation of the models. Finally, we proceeded to develop the mobile application that will show the results equivalent to those simulated on the control of a boiler and its simulation using 3D model images.
