. Without the use of mockups, it canbe challenging to convey how various parts of a structure come together. This challenge isparticularly evident in educational settings, where students may struggle to visualize buildingsand their components in three dimensions, a crucial skill for their future careers. To bridge thisgap, educational tools like physical and virtual mockups are invaluable, helping students betterunderstand both individual material components and how those components are assembled.However, these tools are not without their own set of challenges, such as cost, space, andcomplexity. In an effort to overcome these obstacles, our team developed a mobile wall mockup(MWM) specifically designed to serve as a hands-on learning tool in
