The problem KARA - The Kids AR App solves

Education is a necessary subject .Many researches have been done on this subject on how to make learning efficient . There are many evidences that people learning through visualization understand the concepts better than a usual person. It also helps apply the teachings in daily life easily . The bookish knowledge presented in our schools help us only learning thing but to actually implement those skills in real life requires expertise in that domain , which is somewhat ignored in the schools . Therefore , to make it easy to understand difficult concepts or to attain attention and develop interest learning aids have been found most useful .As we all know the concentrated memory span is decreasing in children and adults due to many reasons and to keep them interested in one matter is big task .Therefore we have developed an app which contains various features such as -

  1. AR Model - A VR model of the solar system which gives you an ultimate experience of the universe as you can watch various features of the solar system.
  2. AR Model - An AR model of the various parts of a human body. Helps remember the names better .
  3. AR Model - Playing with alphabets - This is a visual aid which helps in learning alphabets
  4. Game 1 (Find with alphabet) - It is a game in which we have to choose the correct image which starts with the given alphabet.
  5. Game 2 (Pretty Mushroom) - It is a science trivia game which presents quiz as a way to win various coins.
    Our app is not a general AR-VR app but it also contains various speech features such as in the game 'Find with alphabets' , we have an inbuilt feature which pronounces the alphabet . It also promotes the culture of rewards when winning .This is implemented through a reward system , the user gets points for every win . As the app is intended for kids of age 5-10 , therefore we have worked on the UI such that it is attractive and interactive .

Challenges we ran into

Our team always wanted to make an app that focuses on young children , specially between the age of 5 -10 . Therefore , when decided to make this app our concern was - how we will make the app interactive and handy enough for kids. We had various meet sessions on the topic and did some research and after a day or two we were sure about the design of our app . As this is not a basic AR app we have added various other technicalities such as a speech feature in flutter and animations which increases the overall simplicity of the app. We are further planning on making it more simple even for children with disabilites .
