An augmented-reality textbook companion that overlays interactive 3D diagrams and videos onto science textbook pages.

AchARya — AR Textbook Companion

Introduction

AchARya — literally “teacher” in Sanskrit — is an augmented-reality textbook companion app. Built for the 32-Hour Startup Challenge in Unity using the Vuforia SDK, it turns a static science textbook into an interactive experience.

How it works

Specific diagrams in the book are chosen and indexed as image targets. Pointing the app’s camera at one of these diagrams displays interactive content — 3D models or videos — layered directly onto the page, helping students visualize concepts that are hard to grasp from illustrations alone.
