  AR Destinations

Inspiration

We love exploring new places to travel to and we thought having an app that makes this experience a seamless experience from idea to purchase.

What it does

Allows people to explore travel destinations and attractions for each city shown in real time AR.

How I built it

Using Unity to create the map, iOS AR Kit to show the 3D-Model and Skyscanner API to get the data and purchasing.

Challenges I ran into

Many, many challenges but somehow we have things working. One challenge we haven't solved is getting the 3D model map into the same application as the other part, because the 3D map is built with Unity, which we aren't too familiar with.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Getting unity to work even though we didn't have any experience with it. Actually making something in AR which we haven't had any experience with and managing to use complicated technologies like ARKit to create a working useful prototype.

What I learned

Working with AR, Unity and the Skyscanner API.

What's next for AR flight destinations

This proves the general idea and the rest of the app development should be very standard app development. the next things are combining the 3d map and the destinations, and adding the “top things to do” to the city map. And making everything tappable so it would link you to the correct apps. We believe that going forward the API should be completely incorporated and everything down to getting the receipt should be a seamless experience.
