AR/VR integrated with AI

---

I am an ICT/CS teacher at a school in Tashkent. I am interested in integrating AI into the educational process along with AR/VR technology. I am also interested in developing applications on the topics of global environmental issues. Do you have any experience using AR/VR integrated with AI? I would appreciate any recommendations.

Hi Denis,
Hope everything is going well.

It’s fantastic that you’re exploring the intersection of AI, AR/VR, and education. I tried to use AI, VR and Community Based Learning in my project for the competition to anticipate real life interactions in my students with autism, and it was transformative.

Based on your post I made research of some interesting technologies for your interest. I know we all teachers has a budget issue, but maybe you can make a proposal to get a Grant. I made one to get a robot last year.

1. Unity3D with C#:
   Unity3D is a popular game engine that supports both VR and AR development. You can use C# scripts to incorporate AI features into your virtual or augmented environments.

2. Unreal Engine with Blueprints or C++:
   Unreal Engine is another robust platform for creating VR and AR applications. You can use visual scripting (Blueprints) or C++ to add AI functionality.

3. TensorFlow and ARCore/ARKit:
   TensorFlow, an open-source machine learning library, can be used to train AI models. Combine it with ARCore (for Android) or ARKit (for iOS) to create AI-powered AR experiences.

4. Microsoft Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK):
   MRTK is a collection of scripts and components for building mixed reality applications. It supports both VR and AR and can be extended with AI features.

5. Vuforia and Watson Visual Recognition:
   Vuforia is an AR platform that allows you to recognize and track objects. Pair it with IBM Watson Visual Recognition to add AI-based image recognition capabilities.

Hope was useful for at least design a new project in the future.
Best,
Mr. Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Thank you so much for the valuable information! I'm glad to hear your project using AI, VR, and Community Based Learning was a success.

I appreciate the links to the resources. I'll definitely look into these resources. By the way, I've already started experimenting with Unity and Vuforia, and it's been quite promising. Thanks for the grant advice as well.

Thanks again for your help and support!

Best regards,
Denis

Hi Denis,
Hope everything is going well.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm thrilled to hear that you found the information valuable and that your experiences with Unity (https://unity.com/) and Vuforia (https://developer.vuforia.com/home) are going well. It's fantastic to see your enthusiasm and progress. That will make a difference and impact.

I'm confident that with your dedication, you'll achieve great results in your projects. If you have any more questions or need further support, feel free to reach out. Good luck.

Best,
Mr. Bryan

@Denis-Kudaymetov What are the best free websites for creating interactive videos?What are the best free websites for creating interactive videos?

@Denis-Kudaymetov It is great my friend. the integration of AR/VR and AI holds immense potential to transform education by creating highly engaging, adaptive, and intelligent learning environments. As these technologies continue to advance, we can expect to see more innovative applications in the classroom.

Hello,
I recommend taking some courses on Udemy.com related to VR/AR/XR and AI. I remember starting my first AR project with these courses, and they were very useful. Just as Brayan said, I used Unity and Vuforia, and it's not hard to do.
Good luck!

Hello,
The use of AI and VR should be encouraged as it makes learning and teaching meaningful. Hence promotes a conducive learning environment. The website you proposed is useful as different course related to IT are offered. Can anyone please advise if they come across any free website offering free courses. Thank you.

Incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) technologies into English lessons can make the learning process more engaging and effective. Here are some ways we integrate VR into our English lessons (Sehriyo School experiences)
Virtual Field Trips: we take students on virtual tours to English-speaking countries or famous landmarks. This allows them to experience the culture and context of the language firsthand.
Virtual Classrooms: we create a virtual classroom where students can interact with each other and the teacher in a simulated English-speaking environment (for science, phisics and chemistry)
Cultural Experiences: we use VR to introduce students to different cultures and traditions. This can include virtual visits to museums, cultural festivals, or even everyday scenarios in different countries.
Interactive Quizzes: we create VR-based quizzes and tests that can assess students’ language skills in a more engaging way.
If you have some more ideas, please share with us.
