Solving the Real Problem

Readee addresses a fundamental challenge in online learning and reading comprehension: the difficulty of visualizing and understanding complex terms and concepts. Our tool is not just another browser extension; it is a crucial educational ally for students, educators, and lifelong learners. We're dedicated to transforming how individuals interact with text online, making learning more accessible and immersive.

Innovating Reading

In an ocean of traditional reading aids, Readee stands out by integrating cutting-edge 3D visualization and context-aware technology. Unlike standard definitions or static images, our interactive 3D models cater to various learning styles, aiding in memory retention and conceptual understanding. We've leveraged advanced AR and natural language processing models to ensure our solution enhances reading in a way that’s never been done before.

Maximizing Impact

The potential impact of Readee is vast and multifaceted. It empowers:

  • Students to grasp complex subjects with ease.
  • Educators to provide a more engaging curriculum.
  • ESL Learners to overcome language barriers.
  • Dyslexic Readers to visualize words that are challenging to interpret. Our project outcomes go beyond individual benefit, aiming to elevate the standard of learning and comprehension in digital spaces globally.

How We Made It

We created Readee with a blend of modern web technologies and innovative cloud services. Utilizing HTML and CSS, we sculpted a user-friendly front-end for our extension. Then, with JavaScript, we seamlessly injected interactive buttons onto article text that can be selected to produce a definition and model pop-up. Our back-end uses an AWS EC2 instance, which leverages the GPT API to generate context-aware definitions, ensuring each term's meaning is accurately tailored to its usage. The 3D models come to life through Echo3D’s JavaScript SDK, enabling us to stream intricate models directly to the user's screen. Moreover, we incorporated a QR code API, offering a gateway to augmented reality, where users can interact with models in their physical space, enhancing the immersive learning experience.
