(e.g. the concepts and calculation steps).Finally, the 3D model animation is added into the previous 3D model. This model simulates thereal AHU device with its visual aspects. The students not only can learn how each individualAHU component works, but also learn how the entire device of AHU works. Figure 2. Air handling unit’s 3D model and air circulation route3.2 AR application developmentUnity is used in this study to create the mobile app because it is most suitable for the gamedevelopment. An app can be developed within Unity in a short time and with low costs.Figures 3 to 8 show the main procedures to create the mobile app by Unity. The first step is toimport the project into the Unity hub. After that, Figure 4 will be

standard definition for virtual reality, depending on theirbackground scientists, researchers, and computer users have had a different definition for virtualreality. Pimentel and Teixeira [1], defined virtual reality as an immersive, interactive experiencegenerated by a computer. The more recent definition of VR is described by Dionisio and Gilbertas “computer-generated simulations of three-dimensional objects or environments with seeminglyreal, direct, or physical user interaction” [2]. From the definitions, it can be derived that VR hasan experimental nature with the main elements of the virtual world, immersion, interactivity andmulti-sensory feedback. The first virtual reality system was introduced in the 1960s, and the first Head
