WalkARcade

Introduction

WalkARcade is an AR app that helps users meet their daily walking goals by placing virtual objects in their environment that they must collect through walking. It integrates health data tracking, gamification, and community engagement to encourage physical activity and promote well-being, making it a valuable tool in revolutionizing healthcare and wellness.

Inspiration

WalkARcade was created with the intention of promoting healthier lifestyles and combating sedentary behaviour. The concept uses Augmented Reality (AR) and gamification to make daily walking goals interesting and fun. The software encourages community interaction, incorporates health data tracking, and aims to revolutionise healthcare by promoting regular physical exercise. The idea behind it is to actively use technology to improve both individual and societal well-being.

Challenges

Building an api to communicate with the app and the server was one of the challenging things about this project. The entire team was new to the concept of AR and backend framework, this made building the api more challenging.

In the backend development for our iOS app, I played a crucial role in building and maintaining the server-side infrastructure that powers our application. This involved designing and implementing APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to facilitate communication between the app and the server. I ensured data security and privacy by implementing authentication and authorization mechanisms, making user data safe and protected. I also worked on database management, optimizing queries, and ensuring efficient data storage and retrieval. Additionally, I collaborated with the front-end development team to ensure seamless integration and a smooth user experience. My contributions in the backend were fundamental in delivering a reliable and responsive iOS app to our users.
