The application features three interactive panels where users can select code snippets and observe real-time changes in memory allocation displayed as a visual grid.
anthVR: Bone Lab
An enhanced virtual reality application for studying fossil specimens and human evolution, developed using HTC Vive Pro technology. The project added two key educational features: Probe Mode, which allows users to point at any fossil to access detailed species information, and a Timeline Activity where students chronologically arrange key hominin fossils with real-time feedback.
