With the AR MultiPendulum app, I created the world’s first AR headset experience that does not rely on expensive specialized hardware. Using Google Cardboard, a standard iPhone, and video footage from the phone’s camera, the app creates an AR headset experience by rendering the user’s surroundings in VR. AR MultiPendulum allows users to interact with virtual objects directly with their hand instead of tapping an object's location on a touchscreen. It brings a mesmerizing multi-pendulum simulation into augmented reality. Users interact with this simulation through hand movements and modify it through a holographic interface. Not only does this app bring augmented reality to a pendulum simulation, it is also the first app to simulate more than three pendulums. Additionally, by repurposing a VR headset for AR, this is the first app that gives users an affordable AR headset experience.
