About The Project

This application was developed to serve as the backend for future VR applications developed by Neurologica VR. The goal of this organization is to provide a unique experience for users to learn various computer science related subjects. This application was specifically built for our first application Visualize Data Structures, a VR application teaching users about data structures and algorithms. This application will offer an immersive learning experience for students or free learners, and a supplementary resource for educators to teach and grade their students. The goals of the project included:

• Developing an application in Unity targeting the Oculus Quest platform
• Developing a Node.js backend application to manage web requests and database
• Developing a website for the organization
