| Summary: | In today’s digital era, the ability to operate basic computer technologies has become
increasingly important. However, many beginners and older adults continue to face
difficulties in learning digital tools such as email, word processors, and calculators,
mainly due to the lack of accessible and interactive resources. This project addresses
this issue by developing TechTutor, an Augmented Reality (AR)-integrated and
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted mobile learning application designed to provide a
simple, intuitive, and engaging platform for digital literacy. TechTutor was developed
using Unity 2022.3.57f1, AR Foundation (ARCore and Vuforia), and OpenAI
integration, following the Agile Software Development methodology. The system
consists of 3 main components: AR Learn, which enables users to identify computer
components, interact with 3D models, and attempt AR-based quizzes; AR Guide,
which provides step-by-step AR tutorials for tasks such as sending an email, using
Microsoft Word, the Snipping Tool and a calculator; AI Tutor, which offers chatbotbased assistance with both text and image inputs, enhanced by EasyOCR for keyword
detection and contextual guidance. Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS)
technologies were integrated across the modules to enable hands-free navigation,
interactive feedback, and accessibility for diverse user needs. The novelty of TechTutor
lies in combining AR-driven experiential tutorials and AI-powered assistance with
keyword highlighting, creating an adaptive learning environment tailored for users with
minimal prior exposure to computers and technology. By delivering immersive,
interactive, and personalized guidance, TechTutor aims to reduce the digital divide and
promote inclusive technology use among underserved groups, particularly the
beginners and older adults. |
