Welcome to our AR Campus Navigation App project developed for DiamondHacks, the hackathon organized by ACM UCSD. This Unity-based Android application aims to enhance campus navigation at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) using augmented reality (AR) technology.
Our goal is to create an innovative AR app that assists users in navigating through the UCSD campus with real-time AR directional indicators and interactive campus mapping features. By leveraging Unity's AR Foundation, we aim to provide an immersive and intuitive navigation experience tailored specifically for the UCSD community.
-
AR Navigation Interface: Real-time AR directional cues overlaid onto the physical environment for intuitive navigation.
-
Interactive Campus Mapping: Integration of UCSD's campus data to accurately represent buildings, pathways, and points of interest in AR.
-
Personalized Navigation: Customizable settings for walking speed, preferred routes, and accessibility options.
-
Points of Interest: Highlighting campus landmarks and providing contextual information through interactive AR elements.
-
Offline Capability: Support for offline mode with cached map data for areas with limited connectivity.
-
Intuitive User Interface: Gesture-based controls and clear visual cues for a user-friendly navigation experience.
-
UCSD Community: Students, faculty, and visitors looking for a modern and interactive way to navigate the UCSD campus.
-
Prospective Students: Individuals attending campus tours or events who want to explore UCSD efficiently.
-
Hackathon Participants: Engaging with fellow participants and mentors at DiamondHacks to showcase our innovative AR application.
-
Unity 3D with AR Foundation: Development platform for creating the AR navigation interface.
-
Mapping and Navigation Integration: Utilizing UCSD's campus mapping data for accurate wayfinding.
-
Backend and Cloud Services: Integration of cloud services for dynamic data updates and offline functionality.
