Astrophilia
Summary
Astrophilia education is a start-up providing the youth of this country with viable, adaptable, and updated access to space science education from an early schooling level through innovative products & learning systems in the form of blended learning methods for students and space science laboratories for schools.
I have designed and prototyped the AR app for them.

Scope
Astrophilia is a platform for school students to explore the world of space science through building and experimenting with games and toys designed to kindle the spark of space exploration. Rockets, gliders, rovers, and more! All products are designed to bring space education into the fresh limelight and future by using modern methods of learning and integrating digital and physical media.
Products
Rocketry and flight
A DIY build kit that will have you learn how to build rockets, fly gliders with the basics of aerodynamics and see and interact with the real thing through augmented reality as well.
Rover X
Rover X helps you construct a rover that is ready to explore surfaces like it was meant to. Including basic electronics, construct it and watch it go. Once again explore the real thing through augmented reality!
Design Brief
To design an augmented reality application for school students to learn about spacecraft and explore them in detail. The learning process should be engaging and the user should be able to understand the structure of rockets and rovers without going through multiple images and reading a lot of information.

Astrophilia Ed
Astrophilia Ed App
Astrophilia Ed app is an augmented reality app that helps students to learn about rockets and rovers with clarity. It enables them to view the rockets and rovers from all dimensions and understand the parts in detail. The app is available in the google play store.

Working
User has rockets such as Saturn V, Falcon 9, GSLV Mark III, and rovers like Perseverance and Opportunity to explore. They can scan the cards with the app and interact with the model.

Scan the card and view the model
Interact with the model
Each card will lead to a specific rocket or rover. Users can dive deeper into them from there.
Rockets
Important information and fun facts about the rockets will be shown on the home page. Users can go to the exploded view and view each part in detail to get focused information.
Rovers
Alike rockets, rovers are wider and aren't symmetric about the axis. So user can use the button to rotate apart from rotating the card. Most of the information here is in the horizontal plane to reduce the clutter.
