Geovanna Maciel Avelino da Costa and Mylena Angélica Silva Farias defended the bachelor’s thesis that gave rise to Atloria, a mobile application that uses augmented reality and gamification to support the teaching of data structures.
The thesis, titled “Atloria: A Gamified Platform for Data Structure Visualization in Augmented Reality,” was supervised by Prof. Sergio Freitas and evaluated by a committee composed of Prof. Cristiane Soares Ramos and Prof. Félix Alves da Silva Júnior.
Developed for Android devices with Flutter, SQLite, Unity, and AR Foundation, Atloria organizes the learning of structures such as stacks, queues, and linked lists into a gamified journey, featuring themed rooms, narratives, mini missions, and an achievement passport, allowing students to visualize in augmented reality the effect of operations such as insertion and removal.
The project’s source code is available on GitHub, with a compiled build (APK) published on GitHub Releases and archived on Zenodo.
Atloria now also joins CEDIS’s showcase of digital products and can be found on the Atloria page at CEDIS .
