Everything we do is founded on our belief that innovators are created when curious children are given the opportunity to explore and Augmented Reality (AR) enables them to achieve that. That's why we designed ARious (AR for Curious) to be interesting, immersive and interactive for the learners. The main purpose is to provide a platform to those who aspire to deeply understand the fascinating world around us, and to empower teachers with an elegant tool to make it happen. In ARious you can relive 3D Experiments that were performed by legendary Scientists, for discovering the Laws of Chemical Combination, which laid the foundation for the concepts of Atoms, and later in Physics, experience the discoveries of electrons and the atomic nucleus, leading to the atomic model. You will also get to do 3D interactions with Plant and Animal Cells, and have an intimate experience of the Germination of a Seed. Experience the Pragyan rover coming out of the Vikram Lander of Chandrayaan 2. Interact and understand how our Heart works. Explore how Wind Energy can be converted in to Kinetic Energy. ARious is still under active development. We appreciate any feedback. You could reach us at support@arious.ai. Thank you for your understanding and support.
