ARmap

Inspiration

Inspired by google Maps solution not working for indoor places, we are motivated to create a solution using Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).

What it does

Uses augmented reality (AR) to quickly provide names of shops and distances. It achieves this using 3D signages to demarcate name of the shop, distance, and rating.

How we built it

Used the ARCore and Unity. We provide the blueprint of the places and incorporate SLAM using Unity3d.

Challenges we ran into

Setting up environment for Unity to run. Deciding between Android Studios and Unity. Planned to incorporate google maps API but it is not free.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Implemented location services, i.e. GPS, gyroscope and compass for direction finding and building of 3d signage in Unity ARcore, i.e. anchoring in 3d space.

What we learned

How to incorporate AR with Unity.

What's next for ARmap

To move from a prototype to an actual application that could be used for shopping malls and food places. We can further try to work with existing map services such as google maps for scalability.
