  Edukalp(AR/VR simulated education application)

I think the video demo does not work for Youtube playlist you can refer here for demonstration

Inspiration

Students remember 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see and up to 90% of what they perform through actions or simulations.

What it does

My primary objective is to create extended reality applications using Unity 3D for students to make learning more riveting, increasing conceptual understanding and most importantly - enjoyable.

How I built it

Using Vuforia Engine in Unity 3D, we mapped our models to an AR target to perform its functions such that when a person runs the application, the extended reality comes alive and that person can experience the 3D learning. Also, I implemented GoogleVR SDK and Cardboard using which the user can interact with the virtual environment (with the help of gaze interaction).

Challenges I ran into

There were several issues, one of the major issues I ran into was, to map virtual audience into a room and then moving in there as I was very new to these concepts back then Altogether it's been a long journey in building this application.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We probably aren’t aware of the masterpieces we can create with AR/VR technologies. But we do need to understand that, rather than giving mobile to kids and teenagers for unworthy purposes, why don’t we use it for educational purposes. Although there are apps that teach different subjects but there’s not a single better tool than hands-on learning using AR/VR technology. Also, we can add Alexa skills as a package to the whole app which would specifically trigger skills related to mental health. Thus, not only it would encourage study on a whole new different platform, it will also introduce us to the world of AR/VR – a new generation technology.

What I learned

I learned a lot open communities available for Unity and how to get help from there, in the course of making this application I ran into unworthy issues which in the end allowed me to create this beautiful application and make this more interesting and fun loving by sharing the application and using this to let kids learn what they want whenever, and however.

What's next for Edukalp

I want to create and cultivate this application for each and every class such that a student of every class can gain from this, Also, I am planning to make this a generalized platform such that we as humans could learn or rather understand concepts more easily and feasibly.
