Inspiration
In present scenario farmers face a lot of difficulties such as -
- No information about market prices of crops.
- Difficulty in arranging funds.
- Lack of facilities and resources.
- Small or fragmented land holdings.
In addition to all these the fraud against inexperienced farmers is increasing as they do not know the exact selling price of crops in the market which results them to suffer from economic crisis and heavy losses. Most farmers are also unpredictable about the coming weather conditions that cause lot of hinderance in nurturing of crops.
What it does
Krishi Vikas is an Augmented Reality based android app that is made for the benefit of farmers and rural people. It has 5 sections named as - Crop Visualization, Daily Market Prices, Weather, Funds and Grievances. It helps farmers to visualize their land for crop farming and ascertain the best and productive way to grow crops out of limited lands. Various problems like erratic nature of rainfall and harsh weather can be predicted using weather prediction APIs. It also helps economically weak people to ask and gather funds in the crisis situations. It also allows rural people to post their local area problems that users of the app can see and can share them on various social media platforms.
How we built it
We built it by integrating unity and android studio together for making different components of our app. It was a challenging task for us as we have never done this before. We used plane detection of AR Foundation to visualize the farming land and various APIs to get accurate information about prices of crops.
Challenges we ran into
Integrating all the components gave a lot of results which took a lot of time to resolve.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
After great efforts of all our team members we were finally able to remove all the errors.
What we learned
We learned how to integrate AR apps made in unity with Android Studio.
What's next for Krishi Vikas
Further we are thinking of integrating another component that helps farmer to visualize how to take good care of various crops and help them to calculate area of their land and the maximum profit they can generate from it.
