Pet Step

Inspiration

We set ourselves on a goal to build healthy daily habits.

What it does

Encourages users to walk more through virtual currency and cute animals.

How we built it

We mainly used Android Studio and Java for the application, relying on Google's recording API for step tracking and ARCore for augmented reality features.

Challenges we ran into

Unclear and outdated documentation for AR development using ARCore, was a major roadblock during our development process.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Despite bad documentation, we persevered and figured out solutions to our problems. We are also proud of tackling an area of technology (AR) that none of us have had experience with.

What we learned

What's next for Pet Step

We hope to expand our rosters of animals, implement more functionalities for the virtual currency, as well as implement more interactivity with the animals in AR, and build a social component to the game.
