ARestaurant
Inspiration
We think that Pokemon Go is a very interesting game using the AR technology. Students of CMU need to go to different restaurants every day. So, we think that it will be a great idea if we can use AR technology to help our students eat more happily and conveniently. So, we came up with an idea of using AR to display and explore restaurants around us
What it does
This project is an ios app written by Swift using AR technology to display info of restaurant. The user can log in and view those restaurants on the street, rate them and also see their basic information.
How we built it
It relies on a server and database build by ourselves using Node.js and MongoDB which is loaded on platform Heroku. We made it connected to the ios platform through swift.
Challenges we ran into
The connection between swift and Node.js is very tricky and difficult to handle. We used most of our time to figure out how to find out how to make a request and receive a response correctly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We finally got through the tricky grammar of swift and made it connected to AR. We used our own server instead of the google API.
What we learned
The basic grammar of the language swift, how to connect swift and Node.js, how to use AR technology.
What's next for ARestaurant
We think we will add the comment feature and also more accurate geolocation for the AR system.
