Inspiration

For the AR portion, I remembered games like Pokémon Go and how amazing it was to interact with the real world. The ability to comment in the real world was inspired by the Dark Souls series, and I wanted an app that made places like museums or events more fun, even if you don't have someone to talk to directly.

What it does

Using GPS, it will record places you have commented on and share them with other people who will come to those locations. Also, it will be able to take in multiple languages and translate them to one you prefer.

How we built it

We use Firebase as the main hosting platform and built the app with Flutter. There is also a map made using the Mapbox API to help navigate to events, and a SceneView to handle the AR component.

Challenges we ran into

The most challenging part was definitely the AR portion, as none of the group had dealt with it before. There was a lot of trial and error just to get it to display anything other than a black box.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The accomplishment we are most proud of is definitely our AR. Despite a little difficulty navigating it, the overall purpose of it works, and just seeing a digital pin in the real world made us so happy.
