The problem TeachAR solves

TeachAR is an application that provides teachers with immersive tools that allow them to make the experience of online classes less stressful than it currently is. As the pandemic came out of nowhere we were woefully unprepared for it. It has made the job of teachers even harder. So we provide teachers with interesting tools that help them capture the attention of students in new ways, using a EchoAR's cloud based Augmented Reality application that takes model from the vast Google Polykit API and puts them into AR using Unity 3D and ARcore. We also provide a whiteboard for the teacher's help in the application. Cloud and API based solutions means that the app size is very small and performance is great. SImple controls of EchoAR dashboard also help in managing the environments easily.

Challenges we ran into

Initially we were using Photon Unity Networking for cloud services, but real time instantiation is too complex via that route. On switching to EchoAR it became easier to manage.
