One of the greater challenges in school is to make the students enthusiastic about learning. The great majority of children have difficulty with abstract subjects like mathematics or physics or biology since they are incapable of visualizing. Modern-day solutions like YouTube videos or smart classrooms are wonderful but screen-based and low on real-time interactivity.
My product is EduAR, affordable augmented reality (AR) glasses created specifically for schools. Imagined in this way: a student learning about the solar system - neither by reading about it in a textbook nor by observing a drawing in a textbook but by wearing EduAR glasses and seeing the planets moving in front of them in 3D.
The student is able to move around the planets and examine Jupiter's red spot close up or watch how the seasons change on Earth. For mathematics, it is possible to visualize 3D graphs and shapes of geometry floating in mid-air. For biology, touch a virtual human heart and watch it pump blood while rotating it in their hands.
Whose benefits?
1) Students, who are quicker at visualizing and interacting.
2) Teachers, who can explain difficult concepts more easily.
3) Schools and parents, with greater student success.
4) Society at large, as a well-educated society has skilled citizens.
This matters to me personally because while as a student it had been difficult to grasp subjects such as calculus or molecular biology through the usage of flat diagrams. My understanding would have been much higher if I had utilized programs of AR-based learning.
Technically, light-weight AR glasses with smartphone connectivity are getting inexpensive. The system may be used to operate on a school's shared devices and is thus affordable. With EduAR, classroom teaching would transition from rote memory to immersive comprehension and learning would be fun and inclusive to all.
