RESEARCH PROJECTS:

Vidyut_AR  Kit  (2016)

Augmented Reality based Instructional Design For K-12 Education Augmented Reality based Instructional Design For K-12 Education: AR allows teachers to enhance students’ educational experience by allowing students to interact with 3D objects in their environment.

Augmented Reality based Magic Book for Autistic Children (Jadoo) (2018)

Augmented Reality based Magic Book for Autistic Children (Jadoo): Autistic children faces many problems like: Impaired communication skills, difficulty in making eye contact, repetitive behaviors and activities such as arm flapping, head banging, or twirling an object over and over, Rigid Behavior and difficulty with change and transitions. We are making AR based sensory information + music therapy  system. Because wearable AR devices sometimes causes problems for Autistic Children like dizziness, eye strain and nasal bridge discomfort.

Abacus Math (2020)

Augmented and Virtual Reality based Abacus . The benefits of Abacus are :

• Boosts better and faster calculation skills. Increases endurance for stress and pressure.
• Improves problem-solving abilities.
• Teaches clearer logical reasoning. Sharpens concentration and observance.
• Develops confidence and self-esteem. Heightens stronger mental visualization skills.

VR Solar System

VR Solar System is a Virtual Reality application where user can interact and explore different planets and learn a lot of things about them. It’s an educational virtual reality journey through space user being a space tourist can explore planets and moons in our Solar System like never before.

VR World Builder

VR World Builder is a Lego themed world building VR application in which user can create their imaginative things, worlds and interact with it virtually. VR World Builder help to build creativity and encourage users to think differently. While creating things a super wiser may ask to build something, user may have thought what brick need to select and how and where to add it. This process will help to develop problem-Solving Skills. This application improves the spatial learning of student.
