ABSTRACT

This study describes the development of a cutting-edge smartphone application for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) training that makes use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. Through the smartphone camera, the program overlays simulated CNC machines onto the real-world environment, producing an immersive and dynamic learning experience that outperforms traditional approaches. The augmented reality-based training technique was created expressly to improve user engagement, information retention, and skill transfer in CNC training. The application's performance was thoroughly examined through extensive user testing, indicating significant gains in several areas when compared to traditional training methodologies. This study demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of delivering AR-based training via a smartphone app, emphasizing the enormous potential of augmented reality in transforming CNC instruction in Vietnam as well as worldwide.


Keywords: App, Augmented Reality (AR), Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Learning experience, Smartphone.
