CanAR App

While the world has turned to e-learning, a gap between education and technology has become more apparent. Current e-learning is limited to holding lectures via visual technology (in most countries of the world), and thus the interaction between the student and the teacher with the education material is at its lowest level. It negatively affects the quality of education provided to them, especially for students who suffer from learning difficulties due to a specific disability.

By leveraging augmented reality technology in education, CanAR application directly tackles the issue of limited interaction in current e-learning methods, providing a highly interactive and engaging educational experience for students. Through the CanAR app, students can fully interact with their educational material by using their smartphones. The students open their smartphones' cameras and direct them to a specific image in their books through the CanAR app, and it will appear as a 3D module with audio and a written explanation.

Our goals are simple: to empower the students, ignite their interest, and amplify their satisfaction. Studies have shown that using AR can raise these factors by up to 31% and motivate students by 14%.

The CanAR app is affordable, easy to use, and renewable, making it suitable for all students, especially those with disabilities.

The target population for the CanAR application includes students across various educational levels, Our Total Available Market (TAM) is all students in the whole world, our Service Available Market (SAM) is all the students in MENA region, our Service Obtainable Market (SOM) is the students in Middle East. 

We will help the students in this area by making education more interactive instead of indoctrinated education.

Our team started developing the idea when we where in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Having witnessed how bad online education is, we decided that improvements needed to be made. Now our team is fully graduated, but we are still pursuing our dream of developing the educational system and making it closer to technology.

The team was also heavily committed to volunteer work and non-educational activities before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, making us able to see that online systems for non-educational activities are also very undeveloped.

until now we built 12 AR models and added them to our application, we are now seeking to start in Pilot stage which will includes 5 schools in 5 different areas.

We trust that our participation in Solve will connect us with the right people who have the same innovation in developing the education and give us the right advices  to target the right market, the right experiment and the material.

We believe Solve will give us the opportunity to build a global network that will help us achieve our goals.

the reason our solution is innovative is because we use Augmented Reality in education and its relevance with the educational curriculum like having Complementary relationshipز

While the world is moving towards e-learning, we trust our solution will be the first of its kind that will make the educational material more effective and interactive.

Using AR can raise the level of interest, satisfaction, and confidence by 31%.

We use Augmented Reality (AR) as the core of our technology. AR enables us to provide a unique learning experience that is very effective at the same time.

AR is running on our Flutter application for both iOS and Android to cover all users. We also have a web panel that is built using Java Spring Boot and Javascript Angular to help teachers and supervisors follow up with users.
