NoRILLA

NoRILLA is a patent-pending mixed-reality educational system bridging physical and virtual worlds to improve STEM learning.

Our goal is to create a new education system that fosters curiosity, creativity and helps children find answers to the questions in their minds.

NESRA YANNIER, CEO

She is a postdoctoral researcher of Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University and founded NoRILLA with her advisors, Scott Hudson and Ken Koedinger

I worked on software development for the game and the implementation of computer vision techniques to enable object recognition and object motion detection, hardware setup for Kinect camera and AC motor, and physical model prototyping.

Our team has demontrated our project at multiple occasions such as educational events, schools, a science center, and a children's museum.
