case study

problem

Indigenous constellations and Tupi-Guarani legends barely show up in astronomy apps — and learning under the real sky needs more than a static map.

solution

Printable physical cards plus the camera: each card is a star; the app reads the pattern with RealityKit ML, connects the dots in AR, and reveals the constellation legend.

result

A paper-plus-ARKit hybrid — Jacus & Jaguaras as the gateway to ancestral knowledge on iPhone.
