Mentor Reality

Connecting mentors to hackers through our mixed reality application

A dynamic mixed-reality sphere that represents individual/case status, serves as a medium for multi-people communication in workplace. Designed and prototyped in 2.5 days.

How does it work?

Mentor Reality is an XR + Web solution that helps institutions and events manage and solve issues related to innovative activities from participants. Specifically, Mentor Reality allows the team to describe issues and submit mentorship requests from a web-based portal to the system. For mentors, Mentor Reality presents these requests from teams in a real-world environment using an interactive virtual sphere that will guide mentors with an XR head-mounted device (Oculus Quest 3 is used in this project) from anywhere within the events to go to the team’s space and help them solve the issue. The virtual sphere has four different colors that represent different request statuses. Red represents the issue reported. Yellow means the issue is under review or processing by a mentor. Green means the issue is solved, and purple means the team is currently working without any issues. We also designed and incorporated intuitive interaction and interfaces for both mentors and participants to engage with each other.
