Inspiration: Remembering names of important people you meet after attending a meeting or event is hard. You often get card but might not be able to find them in social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Furthermore, you can loose the card and you will never be able to contact them. This may ruin your opportunity of new connections, new jobs, new projects and new deals. So, in order to ensure you are remember all the people you meet, we have ICARUS.
What it does: Whenever you get card from any people you meet in seminars or events, you just need to scan the card with our app (it can be compile for PCs, mac, iOS and android.). It will give Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, email, phone and bookmark option. So, you will instantly be able to get connected to them. We are hopeful that you will never miss a new connection that can benefit you in the form of new job, project, deals and any other benefit.
How we built it: We used Unity and Vuforia (SDK) to build the app.
Challenges we ran into We were originally game developers interested in Augmented Reality. We have learnt Unity and AR integration 4 days ago. So, it was difficult to build.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We are happy if that our app has potential to help users to grab the opportunity that would have been gone with lack of communication.
What we learned: If you want to build any app you can, even just by googling.
What's next for icarus: Currently it can store only data that is stored in our database, we want to ensure we will do it dynamically for every card. It would be awesome, if people would be able to scan and save all the details of users via internet. We are confident that an internet cralwer will be helpful for it.
