In high school mathematics and college calculus curriculums, learning plane and solid geometry concepts is a very important link, and understanding algebraic equations, function relationships and areas of regions is even indispensable. Thus, basing on augmented reality technology, our team developed the interactive and entertaining learning system, “EqnEye”. The images of math equations will be captured by an image acquisition device, and after automatically recognizing their math meanings and computing numbers, the corresponding curves, intersection points and enclosed area surrounded by them will be shown on the screen.

Combined with the synesthesia experience created by words, mathematics and vision, “EqnEye” allows users to transform originally boring math equations into visualized curves via interaction with “EqnEye”. Users will find different angles of math by adding their own imaginary elements on curves. “EqnEye” makes equation learning more interactive and entertaining, which will not only increase learning interest and assist in learning but also become a good tool for aided instruction.

Artist Introduction

We come from Department of Applied Mathematics at Feng Chia University, and the topics of Interactive Technology, Computer Vision, as well as 3D Printing are our interests. Though this is our first time to join the large-scale competition, all members pull together to get creative juices flowing and overcome several challenges during the process of developing the learning system. Hope everyone likes our work.
