3D Heart AR Simulation

Project Brief:

The education industry, particularly the K-12 segment, constantly faces challenges in keeping students engaged and motivated. Traditional teaching methods, while effective to an extent, often lack the interactivity needed to cater to today’s tech-savvy generation. The 3D Heart AR Simulation exemplifies how augmented reality (AR) is revolutionizing learning, making abstract concepts tangible and interactive.

Our project aimed to design and implement an AR service tailored for the K-12 education sector. By incorporating innovations like the 3D Heart AR Simulation, students were able to explore the human heart in 3D, gaining an in-depth understanding of its structure and functions. This tool, alongside other AR modules, bridged the gap between conventional teaching methods and immersive learning experiences.
