Uma arquitetura para um aplicativo de visualização de objetos educacionais 3D: o caso EducaRA

Abstract

This paper presents the development of EducaRA, an educational application that uses Augmented Reality (AR) to provide an immersive and interactive learning experience. The goal of EducaRA is to enhance the understanding of abstract concepts through the 3D visualization of educational models on mobile devices. The platform was designed to offer two versions of the application: the FULL version, which uses AR with ARCore, and the REDUX version, which dispenses with AR, providing a 3D visualization experience for a wider range of devices. The system adopts a modular architecture, allowing flexibility in implementation and maintenance, while ensuring continuous evolution of the app. The research also compares EducaRA with other similar works using AR for education and suggests directions for future improvements, including practical testing in educational settings. EducaRA stands as an innovative tool focused on expanding the possibilities of digital learning, accessible to a broader audience.
