Inspiration

Many Engineering students are facing this issue i.e. **No Hands-on Experience /Practical knowledge** although we are having great percentage but not many companies are recruiting. Though we are having assets (websites, YouTube, google…) around us, as data is not organized so students lack interest to use them frequently. Being an engineering student, using the advanced technology to solve this issue will be a better solution. we are using _Augmented reality (AR)_ to make both ends meet. Though, there are many applications existing on AR, there is no Particular application focusing on helping engineering students.

What it does

It runs over the virtual and real world in one platform and gives you a real time experience on the things that you what to know about. As we get into visualizing things, it will retain for a long time. Just for instance, you want to know about something. Consider a ultra-sonic sensor, just by scanning the image from the designated app “it gives 3D model which comes to life and explains (audio, video, information)”. Here, user can interact with the environment and have good experience with things.

How we built it

We use software like Unity with Vuforia , script like C# to build it. And cloud services, mobile application development to have a better UI/UX to the one who is using it. Images ,3D models, videos gif, audios are integrated in the application.

Challenges we ran into

We faced issues while working with software, technical stuff and no proper guidance as we are working with Augmented reality (AR) and very few people have knowledge on it caused us challenge. Gathering the 3D models, audios, videos and placing them in the app is the one biggest task.

What's next for LeARnex

Upgrading it to perform many real time functions like we do it in real world and add some VR experience. Adding more contents to the existing one to make it versatile and help students understand them in much better way .
