Inspiration

Bring movies posters to life on iOS and Android devices;

What it does

An interactive, augmented reality deep dive with movie posters; learn about characters, such as in-story and publication information - as well as full details;

How I built it

The project is built out with C#, JavaScript, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android and the Wikitude SDK - with licensed Shutterstock posters for image targets;

Challenges I ran into

Purchasing licensed illustrations of superheroes from the upcoming Avenger: Infinity War movie - and implementing illustrations as image targets;

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Provide immersion into a movie poster - utilizing augmented reality to create an interactive experience;

What I learned

Working with the Wikitude SDK - C# and Xamarin can co-exist with JavaScript, CSS and HTML5;

What's next for Cinema Buddy

Going forward, hope to work with local art cinemas, museums - and try to create events, based on exhibitions of posters and art works; currently researching how to provide images and posters to Google Play, Apple App Store;
