Inspiration

Elevators are boring, right? No!

Now you have the unique opportunity to interact with objects in the augmented reality, get special deals and meet cool people.

Customers love it because they want to save some money on sweet deals. Businesses love it because they can create personalized offers to attract customers nearby. Organizations and communities love it because they can advertise their events and volunteering positions to people with similar interests.

What it does

Elate is a platform that informs users on offers, activities and possible connections with like-minded people within the local community. It provides a creative and innovative possibility to curate your profile in the augmented reality.

You need last minute tips on where to eat for lunch, what clothes and brands have special deals or want to explore the local community and stores? Tell elate what you are interested in and it can provide you with the info you are looking for.

How we built it

We used Swift for building an iOS application. It has an appealing introduction video, a login page integrating firebase authentication and a page for maintaining a profile. We used reality-composer to built an augmented reality space. We created digital objects and implemented specific offers and content tailored to our persona. Then we integrated the augmented reality into our application in Swift. Additional wireframe pages and content of the application has been built with Figma.

Challenges we ran into

As always, it was difficult to define a clear user journey for our application. After having distributed the roles we had to cut down the long list of features and requirements so that we could focus on the relevant part of the presentation. In the end, making everything look beautiful was one of the more time-consuming parts.
