Inspiration
The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled us to stay indoors. Although some industries were able to adjust to the circumstances, it has been very difficult for Tourism Industry. We at AR-Tourism have created an app where you will be able to visit some famous monuments and world heritage sites from your home. And we all know how bored we are staying at home and go out on a vacation. But here we brought the vacation to yo
What it does
Even in the normal pre-covid times not all stature of persons were able to visit and enjoy the Rich Heritage of our world, so we decided to bring the happiness to their fingertips. We built a free of charge application where one and all from across the world will be able to Go Around The World Virtually without spending a penny.
How I built it
I build the AR components using EchoAR and Unity. I summoned the models from poly google and sketch-fab.
Challenges I ran into
There was a huge time constraint. And I had to manage a lot on my own. Finding the required models was an headache. However I was able to track down some famous monuments and display them.
Accomplishments that I am proud of
We successfully used EchoAR to create the project. We also were able to create a fully functional user-friendly app.
What we learned
We learnt the use of EchoAR. The learning was priceless.
What's next for AR-Tourism
We plan to develop and showcase more such monuments. We also plan to collaborate with travel agents and get you connected with them to make your experience a more exquisite one.
