3. Project Overview Marker
Marker-Based Augmented Reality (AR) Applications
Applications use a camera and a visual marker to display the various objects
Applications will include interactive 3D models and animations
Applications will focus on the Education area
Marker

4. Project Overview Some of the applications from Education field are:
Interactive animation GE power generation
Molecular models as a window onto a 3D world
Layer upon layer of information in structural biology

5. Background Information
Augmented reality (AR) is described as an interactive 3D view of a physical, real world environment.
Elements in this environment are improved by a computer- generated sensory input.
Graphics and the audio are superimposed to the user view of the surrounding.

6. Background Information
There are three components of AR one of them is Marker-Based AR ( Other two are head-mounted display and mobile computer for hardware.
Marker-Based AR has many advantages (in the education field):
Overcomes the need for expensive resources
Webcams can be purchased for a reasonable price
Black and white markers can be inexpensively printed
Three dimensional nature of the object + direct physical interactivity = much more authentic experience
Objects can not only be static but also be animated with interaction

7. Goals, Objectives and Deliverables
Goal/Objective
Develop Marker-Based AR applications (For the Education area)
Dynamic and interactive 3D models + animations
Deliverables
Interactive 3D models and animation (the main deliverable)
Project results for the results seminar
Expo poster and demonstration
Thesis report on the project

8. Plan to achieve Objectives
Project Initiation
Background research on project
Project objectives
Project scope and specification
Project Planning and Execution
Plan the platform to be used for AR development
Develop practice applications
Develop a design for the AR applications

9. Plan to achieve Objectives
Project Planning and Execution
Implement a static version of Applications (Version 1)
Implement an animated version of Applications (Version 2)
Implement the final version of Applications (Version 3)
Project Testing
Test the AR applications (testing also occurs throughout the execution stage)

10. Project Gantt Chart

11. Project details (Types of Applications
Initial application - to explain the seasons
3D animation of sun and earth
Other applications will involve working with some teachers to work on a "client brief“
Marker

12. Predicted Outcomes
Successful implementation of interactive 3D models and animations which meets the following:
Applications developed will be in the field of education
Expression of students’ conceptual and factual understanding will improve in all cases after the development of applications
Students will understand how multiple elements involved in the earth-sun relationships work together

13. Project’s Impact in the Community
AR applications will impact students who are unable to understand various concepts
Students with the lower scores will improve most
Students with low understanding of various concepts will increase
Misrepresentation of factual information will reduced
