ApparentlyAR

Data Visualisation tool in the Augmented Reality space that allows grade 8-10 students under the Australian curriculum to improve data literacy and analysis.

ApparentlyAR is an interactive web-based learning tool that helps middle school students (Grades 8–10) explore data in a fun and intuitive way. It combines block-based programming with data visualization and augmented reality, allowing students to import datasets, clean and analyze them, and instantly see results through charts and AR interactions. By dragging and connecting visual code blocks, students can understand complex data concepts without traditional coding—making data literacy more accessible and engaging. Built using Google Blockly and React on the frontend and Node.js on the backend, the system connects simple visual commands to powerful analytical functions. Students can calculate statistics like mean and correlation, apply trigonometric or calculus operations, and even fit polynomial models—all within a visual environment. The platform then turns these results into interactive graphs such as histograms, heatmaps, and radar charts. Through AR hand gestures, learners can touch, move, and scale these visualizations in real space, turning data into a hands-on learning experience. ApparentlyAR aims to make learning data analysis as creative as it is educational. By merging coding, visualization, and physical interaction, it helps students think critically, recognize patterns, and build computational thinking skills in a way that feels playful and intuitive.
