Challenge
Campuses need a way to turn real outdoor locations into guided, gamified learning points without building a native mobile app.
GPS AR
Campus Learning Trail
A location-based learning route with AR checkpoints for schools, campuses, and outdoor tours.
🧭
Solution
The app anchors checkpoints to real GPS coordinates, then updates live distance and a turn-by-turn guidance arrow as students walk. Reaching a stop auto-unlocks a quiz mini-game, and progress, score, badges, and stats build a full learning trail over the live camera feed.
