This Augmented Reality (AR) app is called Digital Gandhi Akar Prakar and was developed as part of a project of the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India for commemorating the 150th birth-year of Mahatma Gandhi.
The Hindi phrase Akar Prakar means "dimensions" and this app provides an insight into the different dimensions of Mahatma Gandhis life and teachings.
The app works with 2 different Gandhi mementos:
(a) A 3D printed replica of Mahatma Gandhi in a walking posture with his 3D printed English signature on a wooden base;
(b) A wooden platform that has a line drawing of Gandhi Ji along with his 3D printed English signature.
These mementos exemplify Mahatma Gandhis ideals of peace, justice, simplicity, minimalism and relentless determination to achieve his goals.
