The
Scantukan Augmented Reality Browser was named the best solution in the Open
Challenges competition of innovative educational solutions for children with
disabilities. Soon it will undergo pilot testing at Rehabilitation and
Education Center #7.
Scantukan is a mobile app available
for both iOS and Android devices. It is designed to help children better
understand complex topics in the curriculum and increase their engagement in
the learning process through the use of AR. In technology classes, students
will be able to create augmented reality experiences, while teachers will take
advantage of the BYOD concept and turn gadgets from their “worst enemies” into
useful AR-enhanced teaching tools.
The pilot project at Rehabilitation
and Education Center #7 is scheduled to take 30 days. The Open Challenges program
is designed to identify and test innovative products and solutions that meet
Moscow's needs across various industries.
