ARRR.duino

About ARRR.duino

ARRR.duino is a cross-platform AR circuit design tool designed to teach younger students how to build basic circuits with Arduino. It uses the power of the Microsoft HoloLens 2, Unity 2020 3.28, and Microsoft Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK) to create an intuitive, fun, and powerful circuit design tool that allows anyone to create simple custom circuits and understand how they work. 

This educational tool was built in 2 and a half days during the MIT Reality Hack in 2022, by Zane Giordano, a University of Texas at Austin student from the School of Design and Creative Technologies, and his teammates Pratik Suketu, Luke Genhron, and Dillon DuPont. A panel of judges including MIT faculty, and representatives from Microsoft, Magic Leap, Snapchat, and Solana awarded the team Overall Gold for Best Project and Winner: Best Use of Microsoft Reality Toolkit (MRTK).
