Uploading a 2D image to echoAR (2D image -> 3D object)

Inspiration

Given the extended amount of time many of us find ourselves stuck at home, we wanted to create an application to keep people entertained while using AR technology

What it does

pictonARy allows users to guess what object is on their screen with their friends for points. We also allow users to draw their own images prior to the game, which then would be uploaded to echoAR and then become a possible item they would have to guess.

How we built it

We built it using Unity for both the UI and drawing portion (AR Foundation Manager), and EchoAR for calling/deleting objects in our app and uploading screenshots to the console using their Upload API

Challenges we ran into

We had a hard time working together on Unity + GitHub Neither of us has ever made a game/app in Unity prior to this event We couldn't run the same application on iOS and Android Learning the echoAR API was a challenge due to hardly any resources outside of the great workshop

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to learn both EchoAR and Unity in less than 24 hours and made something functional!

What we learned

Jet - I learned a great deal about echoAR and I find it super cool. I got to learn a lot about calling APIs in Postman and trying to debug what was going on. Paulo - I learned a lot about Unity and creating interactive buttons with it, I also learned how to render objects from echoAR to Unity using the SDK.
