Micro-Worlds in Augmented Reality
      EĞT-BAP-A-160317-57, GRÜ Type A Project: Scientific Research and Development Projects.

      The purpose of this software is to transform interactive whiteboards and Android-based tablets into functional microscopes by utilizing virtual and augmented reality. Through the enriched environment created, the project aims to enable middle school students—within the scope of the science curriculum—to examine specimens that would typically be observed under a microscope, while also helping them develop the skills to operate a microscope.
