Inspiration

We were inspired by ar apps like pokemon go, google maps, and unity ar. We were also inspired to use the Spire API because of their vast amounts of weather data that inspired us to make a weather app.

What it does

You provide a city as an input which will give you the general weather of the city and an option to go on an ar mode by pressing on the weather symbol in the middle. This provides a more immersive experience and can help you experience weather from all around the world.

How we built it

We used HTML, javascript, CSS, and A-frame for the programming languages. We mainly used tools such as 8th Wall and APIs such as Spire and Openweather. We used a blender to make our 3D assets. We also got our domain from domain.com.

Challenges we ran into

A challenge we ran into was our inexperience with ar programs but we were able to combine our strengths in web development. Another challenge we ran into was using the API key for Spire which didn't work for most of our time developing our app. Some other challenges include finding 3d assets with animations and the short time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A big accomplishment we are proud of is having a working application by the deadline. We also are proud of using AR as part of our application as it is our first time utilizing it. We also are proud of utilizing many APIs.

What we learned

We also gained more experience in HTML, javascript, and CSS and learned a lot about A-frame and AR.

What's next for ArSkyWatch

To add more types of weather and make the AR more immersive.
