MuseumTimetravel

Inspiration

The museum offers artifacts from previous times. The visitor can get in touch with this time by doing some actions uses in this ages.

What it does

The app uses Google ARCore to build up some mini games in the exhibition in which the user can directly interact with the artifiacts. The mini games are linked by the story of a time travel in which the user is involved. He needs to solve the mini games successfully to exit the museum (in virtual). The time travel leads through the exhibitions of the museum from primal ages, over the middle age to the top of the castel tower on which the visitor rechaes the portal to come back to the current time.

How I built it

We brainstormed about 7 mini games, on which we want to have a closer look. From this project we have chosen a few to implement in a prototype. We have also created different 3D-Models to demonstrate our approach since there are no suitable artifacts provided by the museum.

Challenges I ran into

Googles AR Core instant preview for debugging purposes is not working in unity which hardens the development process since there is no real debugging possible. We are implementing the prototype as a desktop app and trying to port this to arcore on android...
