Using Augmented Reality (AR) to create a game about combining elements together to

discover new elements.

Create an interactive game using AR to invoke curiosity and interest in science & learning through experimentation. As a child growing up, I felt bored and uninterested in learning especially having to read from books and memorising long chunks of text. The only times that learning piqued my interest was when I was able do hands on activities and games. This sparked an idea for me to create a new form of learning that is not only fun and refreshing but accessible and easy to use for everyone. With the current influx of social media and electronic devices, the trend using augmented reality is also on the rise. It is simple to understand and brings about a whole new world for people to explore and I decided to captilise on these factors. Youngsters nowadays all own a smart device and are consistently using their phones to surf the web and use social media. By creating an AR game, I hope it adds more incentives for people to want to try it out and in the mean time, learn and play in a familiar setting, their phones. The AR game is visual-based so people will not get bored of reading and the animations and interactions will entice people to carry on playing it. The idea of using elements to create new ones allows the player to become scientists and researchers!
