🧠 Inspiration
Textbooks are dense, outdated, and hard to engage with — especially for something as visual as human anatomy. We wanted to make studying biology actually make sense for med students.
💡 What it does
BioNote lets you explore 3D anatomical models, draw directly on them, chat with an AI tutor, and turn your notes into Anki flashcards — all in one workspace. It’s like if your iPad and med school had a baby.
🔧 How we built it
We used Sketchfab for the 3D models (embedded via iframe), added a canvas overlay for pen tools and screenshots, and layered in a chat interface with spaced repetition and auto flashcard generation.
🚧 Challenges
- Selecting specific regions under multiple model layers was tough (iframe + canvas coordination = pain 😅)
- Fetch.ai’s Agentverse didn’t play well with multi-turn conversations
- Screenshotting while preserving annotations + context was surprisingly complex
✅ Accomplishments
- Built a clean, immersive 3D note-taking setup — basically replicated an iPad experience
- Made complex AI prompts dead simple for users (click, snapshot, done)
- Streamlined the flow from visual > notes > memory
📚 What we learned
- How to use iframes way beyond just embeds — think multi-purpose tools
- Managing canvas layering and state across multiple UI elements
- Designing for both clarity and utility in a tight UI
🔮 What’s next
- Full-body anatomical models
- Depth-aware visualization (not just surface level)
- Smarter AI feedback based on what part you’re studying
