AR in Automobile

Inspiration

• When we bought a car, I struggled to know more about my car and the only way to learn more about it was Manual Book which we receive along with car or Online resources. During which I faced a lot of difficulties. That's why I decided to build an AR-based manual for Car.

What it does

• The Solution can be used anywhere where there is a use of a manual.
• All the applications which need a manual for simple repair can be replaced by this kind of app.

How I built it

• Taken multiple Images of Car and uploaded them to Vuforia Engine and selected the better one's that have high tracking performance
• Build the whole project in Unity using echoAR and Vuforia

Challenges I ran into

• As we don’t share mechanical background recognition of the parts itself was a tedious task for us.
• Then detection of the parts by the APP was a big challenge.

What I learned

• Combining echoAR and Vuforia
• Learned some basics of different parts of Car

What's next for AR in Automobile

• We will try to enter as many parts we can and provide a basic servicing tip to it.

Solution Description

• We are trying to develop an AR-based Application which can tell the user which part he is looking at and can do the basic servicing of it
• It is giving visual cues so even illiterate people can also use it
• In short, it will be Augmented Reality based manual for Car

Uniqueness of the idea

• No costly hardware required.
• Easy to use and highly interactive.
• Navigation and searching of parts is easy
• Even an illiterate person can use the App.

Built With

• echoar
• sketchfab
• unity
• vuforia
