Educational AR Apps (Engineering Drawing, Engineering Mechanics and Basic Electrical Engineering)


I led the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of India's first Augmented Reality (AR) app for teaching engineering concepts. Leveraging ARCore libraries, the app offers both marker and markerless AR experiences, creating an immersive and engaging learning environment. I also redesigned the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) to make the app intuitive and user-friendly. The app aims to explain complex engineering concepts in an accessible and engaging manner, making education more fun and engaging for students.

The app's successful launch and positive feedback from students and educators alike are a testament to my expertise in AR technology and my passion for innovative education.
