Designing an interactive online repository for folklores of Assam

Designing an interactive online repository for folklores of Assam

Prof. Ravi Poovaiah

The aim of the project is to take a user-centric approach in designing a participatory archive for Assam, a state in northeastern India known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse ethnic groups. The project explores alternative methods for collecting folklore data, with a particular emphasis on gathering data from different indigenous communities through school students. It acknowledges the challenges faced by traditional archives and emphasizes the need for an interactive online repository that can adapt to the evolving digital landscape.

Visualize Orbital Hybridization through Marker-based AR Interactions

Visualize Orbital Hybridization through Marker-based AR Interactions

Prof. Jayesh Pillai

Hybridization being an abstract concept in itself where multiple atomic orbitals are mixed together to form new hybrid orbitals, students find difficulty in understanding the concept and end up mugging it. This project is focused on how we can visualize the concept of hybridization in a more intuitive manner for students with the help of augmented reality. As augmented reality is becoming more accessible day by day, it's a good opportunity for teachers as well as students to leverage the capabilities of AR for better learning opportunities. Objective of the project is to develop a working prototype through novel design interventions in augmented reality, while exploring different marker based interaction techniques.
