Animal ARcade - Play As You Learn

This project integrates physical puzzles with Augmented Reality (AR) to create an interactive and educational experience for children. By completing a simple animal puzzle and scanning it, kids unlock 3D AR models of the animals, which they can interact with through animations, sound, and fun learning activities. The app fosters curiosity, creativity, and hands-on engagement, bridging physical and digital play.

Graphical poster describing the project

Animal ARcade is an augmented reality english-learning game for kids that I developed using a game development software called Unity. I sourced 3D models of animals and using code, I created a fully developed game where the kids will solve a 2D puzzle, which when scanned, will reveal the 3D model of the animal, with which the kids can interact and learn.

Why this solution

There are various buttons that appear along with the model, using which the kids can perform various functions. In the previous versions, I had also incorporated a voice command feature with which the kid could animate the animal by telling it to run. In this version, the animal can be animated if they click on it.

The quiz mode is designed as a challenge for the kids to test their learning and provide a reward for achieving milestones.
