Schools recently announced that they would indeed be opening with only minor precautions such as no need for mask unless social distancing can be preserved. To help school districts keep record of how many people are in a room at one time, I came up with Social Schools. I used EchoAr, a 3D cloud platform used to build AR and VR apps. When a student scans the marker using their phone, an object depending on the classroom and school will appear. It notifies the teachers and administration another student has entered the classroom. Social School's goal is to provide a rough estimate of whether the social distancing procedure is working or not. Some challenges that I faced include figuring out how to incorporate the metadata to help increase the size of the AR object (scale). In addition, this was my first time using echoAR.
