Inspiration

Our group was inspired by Pokémon go and google glasses. Both of these projects had something in common - AR, or augmented reality, which is a relatively new technology. While brainstorming for the Hackathon ideas, we thought that properly applying this technology can boost many existing platforms/businesses.

What it does

In the used-items market, it is very difficult, if not impossible to get a refund. Therefore it is crucial for an individual to make the right decision when buying a used item. Our project enables people to make more informed decisions by showing the actual 3D models of the products on their phones.

How we built it

These are the steps we followed in building our prototypes. First, we found a platform named echo3D that allows us access to simple AR technology (it gives a QR code that shows a 3D model on the camera when scanned). Second, we made sure there existed a technology that allows our users to create 3D models only using their phones. Finally, with adobeXD, we made a prototype (or a pseudo-application) of 'sellAR'.

Challenges we ran into

We didn't have a single hard-core coder. Also, this was our first time joining a business hackathon.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Despite not having a coder, we were able to build a prototype with our business idea. We were able to get out of our comport zone and try out new tech platforms like echo3D.

What we learned

It's a business hackathon, idea is what matters most.

What's next for sellAR

We would like to expand the augmented reality feature so that users could scroll through items in 3D.
