Holo | Scholar

Information

This project tackles the problem of incorporating interactive elements into traditional educational materials.

Many people find it easier to learn from a physical book in their hands than a PDF, website, or app. However, choosing physical over digital precludes the possibility for interactive elements in learning resources. Holo | Scholar endeavors to fill this gap.

Holo | Scholar is a mixed-reality solution using the Microsoft HoloLens to display dynamic, interactable content that has been "embedded" into a physical resource. In its complete implementation, Holo | Scholar would consist of:

• installations in educational institutions such as schools, universities, and libraries, and
• partnerships with publishers to integrate mixed-reality elements into their textbooks, journals, or other publications.

Future development

Next steps for development include:

• Incorporating image/tag recognition to contextualize interactive elements
• Building a UWP app to house the compiled application
• Hunting bugs and documenting code ## Components
• ModelBank: C# object-oriented resource location indexing-by-page solution
• Holo | Scholar App: Unity-based HoloLens integration ## Contributors
