Project Description

Project Description

AR filter that scans your keyboard and highlights the shortcuts you need to work faster and more efficiently.

AR filter that scans your keyboard and highlights the shortcuts you need to work faster and more efficiently.

Problem

Most users struggle to remember more than 8-12 shortcuts actively, leading them to default back to mouse usage even for common tasks.

Solution

The AR filter aims to simplify learning keyboard shortcuts by visually guiding users through an interactive, real-time experience.
