A Friend In Need (AFIN)

Inspiration

I was inspired by people around me who suffered through personal issues, such as depression, and how the COVID-19 pandemic halted their progress of becoming better.

What it does

My program acts as a virtual therapy and escape for people who are not only depressed but also want to relax and escape from reality.

How I built it

I connected Unity with echoAR and imported models and other concepts to make the 360 degree visual.

Challenges I ran into

For the longest time, I was unable to connect the echoAR SDK with Unity, and finally, I got it.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of being able to learn how to use an entirely new type of technology within a time period of 3 days.

What I learned

I learned how to use Unity and how it can be used to create many different things that I didn't know were possible.

What's next for A Friend In Need (AFIN)

Next, interactable characters and more settings will be created to make it customizable for users, and then I can turn it into an application to make it accessible globally.
