SafeHaven

App Interface

Inspiration

With rising trends in natural disasters and insurgencies, we wanted to ensure people have access to timely, actionable information and navigation, especially in unfamiliar territories.

What it does

During times of crisis, the app will provide you with the necessary navigation and real-time updates to evacuate to safe spots, and reduce the time it takes to make life-saving decisions.

How we built it

We used Unity and Blender to create the 3D models and put them into an AR environment for iOS devices.

Challenges we ran into

Working with Niantic Lightship and Unity was new to us and we had to figure out how to best utilize these technologies.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This was our first hackathon, and also our first time using Unity and AR/VR technologies.

What we learned

During the process of making the app, we learned how to utilize Niantic Lightship and Unity to develop an Augmented Reality App for iOS. We also learned how to design our interfaces with Figma.

What's next for SafeHaven

Make indoor and custom map functionality so that people have access to critical information for public buildings and busy congested areas like markets.
