Virtual Field Practice Education for Total Station
Main Article Content
Abstract
Virtual education emerges as an important alternative in situations where distance education is required, such as during the pandemic period, when fieldwork is required, but weather conditions do not allow it, the number of devices is low, or the technology is insufficient. The main aim of this study is to teach the usage areas, usage purposes, basic measurement principles, and measurement strategies of the total station instrument in a virtual environment. For this purpose, the total station device and related equipment, such as tripod, prism, and telescopic pole, were designed in 3D in a virtual environment by reality. Web programming was chosen to program the virtual environment and simulation process due to its advantages of accessibility, interactivity, performance, and ease of development. Three basic web programming languages and a library were utilized collaboratively during the developed web program process. Javascript programming language is used for mathematical operations and programming methods. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) was used to structure and present the content of the web page. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is utilized to describe the presentation of a document written in HTML. Three.js library was used to create and display 3D computer graphics. Fundamental quantities such as angle and distance concepts that can be observed with the total station are included in the model, aiming to improve users' real-time usage practices and to enable them to understand these variables
