Inspiration

We love Manga (Comics in Japan)! We think it will be really interesting to add some elements from Manga to our real world such as dialog boxes.

What it does

The application first detects if there is a human face in the frame. If so, a dialog bubble will pop up as if it's floating in the real world! The app will convert everything the speakers say to text and display it on the dialog bubble.

How we built it

We built the whole application with Swift. We use Apple's Vision library to detect human faces in the frame. We use Apple's ARkit to put a dialog box near a speaker.

Challenges we ran into

We spent some time learning the capability and limitations of AR.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're both first-time AR & Swift developers!

What we learned

Swift and ARKit basics.

What's next for MangaTalk

Multilingual support and live translation.
