Inspiration

With this year's theme being "go beyond", we wanted to explore augmented reality by creating an "easter egg" style app where participants can locate images based on clues.

What it does

We provide a list of hints as to where augmented images are located. When the participant locates the image and points their camera to the image, a surprise 3d image will pop out.

How we built it

We used Unity with Vuforia. Some of the 3D images (Mew and the star) were created in Maya by Valeria. We were able to render a few augmented images as well as add a menu page and a "hints" page. We loaded scenes using C#.

Challenges we ran into

Switching scenes, deploying the app to mobile device, using technology we were unfamiliar with, and time management.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

2 of our team members had no experience with coding and none of the members of our team have used Unity before so we are really happy that we were able to have a working demo. We also are really proud of the UX/UI design that we utilized to create this app.

What we learned

We learned how to deploy an app to iOS for the first time.

What's next for Peep

Finding ways to make Peep a more social activity. One idea is to use location markers for the augmented images.
