Mixed Reality for Social Good
summary
Community-run project brings VR into pediatric wards with VR Passports and runs repeatable workshops that teach Unity/Daydream, marker AR and simple electronics. Toolchain: Android Things on Raspberry Pi / MX7 to drive LEDs and DC motors, LEGO + 3D‑printed connectors for models, AR.js / three.js for marker-based overlays, Unity + Daydream for headset content and Firebase DB as a realtime sync. Prototypes—portal, conveyor, pick‑up keys and doors—are built and tested in workshops and hospital visits, and the setup proves usable by non‑engineers.
