NeuroScholAR
About the project
Project description
NeuroScholAR is an innovative educational system that utilizes augmented reality (AR) and brain–computer interfaces (BCI), developed in the Unity engine using the XREAL SDK. The project aims to investigate the impact of modern technologies on the efficiency of cognitive processes and to examine how the digital implementation of ancient mnemonics can accelerate knowledge acquisition. A key element of the system is translating the concept of the memory palace into the user's physical space. Thanks to the XREAL Air 2 Ultra AR glasses, the system allows for the placement of interactive notes and educational objects in specific locations within a room, which engages spatial memory and facilitates subsequent information retrieval. An integral part of the solution is the use of an EEG headset from BrainBit, which monitors the user's mental state in real time.
Algorithms implemented in Python analyze brainwave activity, allowing the system to automatically detect drops in concentration or rising fatigue. In response to this data, the application dynamically adjusts the presentation format of the material or suggests the optimal time for a break, maximizing brain neuroplasticity during learning. The project's backend layer is built on Go, which ensures high performance and low latency in data transmission between the BCI sensor and the XREAL Beam Pro unit. The project represents a pioneering combination of neuroinformatics and wearable technology, pointing to new directions in the development of personalized education (EdTech). NeuroScholAR not only provides learning tools but also serves as a research platform for analyzing cognitive functions in an interactive 3D environment, redefining the way we interact with digital information.
