Inspiration
We all travel to various places but are unaware about our environment and the pollutants surrounding us. We have no fun way to visualise the data and make ourselves aware about our immediate environment that's affecting our health. We are unware about our own environment.
AiRTree aims to solve this very issue!
What it does
AirTree is an AR Based Plant/Tree that helps and tells you about your surrounding environment. This will educate how pure the air surrounding your is.
Your Plant is also affected by this! So its a challenge to grow this virtual plant and a positive approach to do good for the environment by educating and visualising metric data!
The AiR Plant scans your location and gets the weather data in realtime and displays to you in an fun AR View. The plant is also affected by this.
Plant more real life plant, to improve the air quality index so that you can grow your AiR Plant/Tree with ease!
How I built it
- Android App written in Kotlin
- Uses Jetpack and AndroidX
- ARCore
- OpenWeather API
Challenges we ran into
- Getting 3D Models render on the App.
- Making sure the plant reacts to the air pollution after fetching realtime weather data from the API
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Making Custom Views in AR for Android
- Integrating AR in Android using ARCore
- 100% Kotlin Implementation
- A app that helps us to save environment
What I learned
- Integrating .obj and .gtlf files in Android and utilisation of ARCore
- How to make your own Renderables that you can use to build some cool AR Stuff!
- How to AR
Built With
- android
- arcore
