ARise:

The online learning platform market has revolutionized the teaching learning process significantly. However, the penetration of internet accessibility in rural areas is still questionable. Also, the students get their queries solved through search on Google or other search engines. The era of thick books is gone and the thin books along with the online content is the way to go. Online Education Market size was valued at USD 48.05 Billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 59.63 Billion in 2024 to USD 335.47 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 24.10% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

ARise is an innovative AR-based app developed to revolutionize multi-sector learning by integrating augmented reality into traditional learning/ teaching methods. There is a thin book that has revision content and the detailed content is available when the mobile is pointing the content through an indigenously developed application. The app enables users to scan image targets from textbooks/ project platforms to access interactive, offline video lectures/ animated 3D models stored in the SD cards. Its cutting-edge feature is the seamless fusion of offline functionality and augmented reality, ensuring accessibility without internet dependence in remote areas. By transforming static content into immersive experiences, ARise aims to enhance engagement and comprehension, making education more interactive, efficient, and futuristic. The rural area personnel without the access to fast internet can also access the book.
