Inspiration

When transportation professionals, event planners and community members plan event or traffic routing changes, they resort to chalk, photoshop, and drawing on paper maps to plan events, traffic routing and more.

What it does

Instead, with BOLLARD BUDDY AR anyone can use any modern mobile device to point and place traffic control devices in the field. Then export and share the magic link with others so they can view your proposed changes.

How we built it

WebXR, A-Frame, three.js, Variant Launch, Google Maps 3D Tiles

Challenges we ran into

Localization (VPS) challenges from limitation of web permissions such as lack of camera access or access to compass relative to magnetic north

Accomplishments that we're proud of

End-to-end mobile AR placement to desktop and VR visualization experience

What we learned

On social media people responded very positively to this concept. Although it is simple, it solves a very real challenge for transportation professionals.

What's next for BOLLARD BUDDY AR

Given the positive community response we plan to integrate some form of this as a new mobile app for 3DStreet.
