The EZSchoolPay app is provided in cooperation with thousands of schools nationwide. If your school participates, use the app to sign up for free (or login with your existing account), link your students, view lunchroom purchase history and current meal account balances, set a low balance email payment reminder, shop the school store to make purchases (if available for your school), add funds to your students’ meal accounts, and more. Some schools charge a small convenience fee for online payments and purchases via the app to offset their costs in accepting payments online. If a fee applies, it will be shown before you complete your checkout. All other features, including viewing student information, account balance, and purchase history, are entirely free.

This application allows users to view and interact with 3D models generated by the MEGA Lab. To use, first print out AR targets using the "TARGETS" button in the app. After you've printed out the targets, hit the "START" button and point your camera at the target. The digital model will be augmented on top of the target. Currently, this functions only as an AR app but I’m working on implementing functionality to make it easier to interact with for people without a printer - non-AR capability is coming soon! The current iteration of this application comes loaded with 7 models - more coming soon! This application utilizes the Vuforia AR engine.
