Inspiration
I love experiential learning and looking forward to adding augmented reality to democratize education, I had to look for a program that can help me do that without coding so I could embed it into my LMS platform [shepherdd.com]. A colleague recommended Adobe Aero and I took a 3-hour course on it. After my certification, I constantly practiced by building lots of science projects focusing on biology(plant and animal cells, circulatory system, digestive system, etc.) and I love my progress.
What it does
My project helps learners have an immersive experience in learning about the digestive system. learners can click on hotspots on the 3D assets to learn about them.
How we built it
We downloaded 3D models from Sketch fab and designed the UI elements to hold the textual data using Figma. Then I uploaded these assets into Adobe Aero and used scenes and trigger options to make the project interactive when certain UI elements were clicked.
Challenges we ran into
Our phones do not support the AR feature as a limitation so we had to always depend on my colleague's phones to test the project in real life. Also, some of the assets uploaded to the platform wouldn't load so we had to do some readings before we could know what was supported and what wasn't.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud that after taking a 3-hour course, we've been able to create over 6 immersive AR projects ready to be released to the public.
What we learned
We learned that going forward, I would need to purchase advanced devices that support AR or look for open-source AR software like Model Viewer to build my projects with the help of a developer since, it uses the user's browser. hence, no installations are required.
What's next for Digestive System-Augmented reality
Making it available to the public on my platform [shepherdd.com] and looking for other collaborations to expand the scope of this project.
