"Shramik" (श्रमिक) in hindi refers to the worker or labourer who does unskilled and low payed jobs due to inadequate financial resources and lack of awareness .

The problem Shramik solves

Traditionally only the workers who could afford to get some training were able to get jobs whereas the illiterate and the ones who can’t afford these paid training are left with no other option than to just do low-level jobs. These jobs have low salaries and lack of knowledge deprives them of what they deserve .
Keeping this factor in mind our team –MegaBit- has made a project “SHRAMIK” which consists of an Augmented Reality based application whose sole purpose is to make learning easier, affordable and more interesting as compared to traditional teaching methodologies. Our application SHRAMIK which is free of cost for everyone helps the people who cannot afford to learn and get proper training, to gain knowledge.
This application provides a fascinating environment using the “AUGMENTED REALITY” technology which contains various features such as :

  1. AR-Portal: Passing through a 3D gate augmented onto the real world which will take you to an immersive world which shows the inside view of an industry so as to provide an industrial environment while you are roaming around your house. This portal provides the best alternative to the real-life industrial visit.
  2. Equipments-Viewer: This part of the application will display various equipment used in industries, along with the 3D scalable view of the separate parts of the machinery. By this feature, users will be able to know how a machine looks and operates and they will be well aware of its parts.
  3. Mobile-View: At last, we built an application so that users can learn about particular machines which they’ll have to operate and their parts and their complete terminology while the sit perfectly safe in their homes during this tough time. We want to provide a better platform of learning than the one workers use nowadays which is by trial and error, we hope to make the industry workers more aware of their surroundings and increase their productivity.

Challenges we ran into

We faced some issues in getting perfect models to present our idea in descriptive way and to apply proper animations to its parts when it gets separated out because it is time-consuming and requires a bit of patience.
In AR-Portal, the coding part was a bit ticklish due to the video loop in a 360-degree environment but we managed that by referring to online documentations and stack-overflow.
The equipments viewer feature took the longest time as we had to apply animations to its parts manually .
However ,, whenever we get stuck , community as always comes to our rescue through its forums, discussion panels etc.
