Microbe Viewer: AR Experience
Purpose: An informal learning experience highlighting the relationship between the macro and micro worlds of bacteria. Developed for Android mobile
Tools: 3ds Max, Unity, Vuforia
​
Augmented reality, although slightly behind in the market compared to virtual reality, is making waves in science and medical education. This project explored how AR could be leveraged to help users connect the macro and microscopic worlds of bacteria. Petri dishes showcasing two different kinds of bacteria colonies served as the target images. 3D animated models of individual bacteria would appear on the user's phone when hovering over the images.
