Mission and Program Overview

Program Services

Description	Grants	Expenses
Magic Words augmented reality mystery game with voice chatbot is in the programming stages. Expected release is mid-2020. Players physically walk around their community, encouraging both real-world engagement and exercise. A revolutionary speech engine simulates lifelike conversations, the core technology of which will have countless educational and scientific applications.	$0	$8,914
Our E-Reader prototype is being tested on tracking students' reading progress, speed and reading level using sophisticated algorithms. Public domain reading materials and dynamically generated questions are used to test comprehension of the material. Educators can share annotations with a class and get statistical breakdowns of student progress on each assignment. Several countermeasures in place include biometric algorithms to ensure the students are actually reading their assigned material.	$0	$3,452
Hologram art installation: The exhibit will be a one act play recorded as a holographic illusion to create an intimate theatre-like experience that plays on a loop in a gallery or museum. This uses several projectors which bounce off a transparent screen; the angles of projection and the positions of people viewing the play allow for an interactive experience. This project is in experimental stages. We expect this technology to be shared and adapted to record educational presentations for schools and museums.	$0	$1,827
