Inspiration
Traditional business cards contain limited information with small fonts, making them inconvenient, especially for people with vision issues. We wanted to enhance them using AR to create a more interactive and informative experience.
What it does
The Smart Business Card uses AR (Augmented Reality) through Unity and Vuforia to display rich, 3D, and interactive information when scanned with a mobile device. It can show details like contact info, 3D models, or even virtual tours depending on the profession.
How we built it
We built the app in Unity, integrating Vuforia SDK for image recognition and marker tracking. The physical business card acts as the marker, triggering 3D visualizations or information overlays on the mobile screen.
Challenges we ran into
Setting up accurate marker tracking and stable AR overlays. Optimizing 3D rendering for mobile devices. Managing data retrieval and integration of profession-specific features.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Successfully turning a traditional business card into an interactive AR experience. Enabling dynamic, profession-based extensions like virtual tours for builders or 3D product previews for showroom owners.
What we learned
We learned how to integrate Vuforia with Unity, perform image recognition, manage AR content placement, and optimize mobile AR performance for smooth user experiences.
What's next for Smart Business Card
We plan to add VR integration, cloud-based data storage, and customizable templates so professionals can personalize their AR experiences and update business card info dynamically.
