Lehigh partners with Da Vinci Science Center for ‘Women in Science & Engineering’ days
February 23, 2024
More than 900 area middle-schoolers participated in two-day event, held in conjunction with Engineers Week 2024, featuring hand-on demos and games led by Lehigh faculty and students. NHI created content showcased at this event included a HoloLens 2 demonstration and AR code displaying structures, like Sodium Chloride (by Leo Chen). See instructions below.
Instructions: Use your smartphone(newer iPhones work best) camera to open the Augmented Reality (AR) Code by pointing the camera at the AR code and clicking on the yellow “Adobe Aero” tab (without downloading any apps.) It is only necessary to give Adobe permission to access your phone (just like accessing a QR code.) Click on the blue “Continue” tab when it appears. To land the image find a flat open area and click the gray dots that appear on your phone covering the flat surface. Once you have anchored the image you can now walk around it viewing from all sides from your phone.
