NavHack

Inspiration

I've been to over 20 hackathons as a hacker, sponsor, and mentor. Regardless of my role, I've always had difficulty navigating the venue and viewing other projects, especially when I had to judge. In general, navigating conference venues is difficult, and the small tables/booths make it difficult for the representatives to share all the information about their project.

What it does

Mobile AR app. Gives users information about how to navigate a space using AR. Tables/projects will be shown via AR holograms and the app has a tracking system that shows the user how to get to the desired table/project with AR overlays.

How I built it

Unity 3D, ARKit, 8th Wall, C#, and a lot of debugging.

Challenges I ran into

Unity version errors with the API we used

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

FInishing the hack in 1 night

What I learned

Difficulty with realtime image tracking

What's next for NavHack

Building out a system that takes a floorplan and table numbers as input, and outputs a navigable space in AR.
