AURO transforms traditional brainstorming into an immersive journey of discovery. Leveraging cutting-edge AR technology—including the revolutionary 5th generation Snapchat Spectacles—AURO empowers you to extract ideas from your mind and visualize them in a dynamic, spatial notebook. In a world overwhelmed by digital distractions, AURO is designed to help you reclaim focus, prioritize ideas, and turn intentional thought into action.

This project was developed in just 36 hours as a solo dev initiative during the GT Immerse Hackathon. Inspired by the hackathon theme "Illuminate", I set out to build a platform that harnesses the power of conscious thought and innovative AR to cut through the digital noise.

• The Power of Conscious Thought:
  In a time of constant digital overload and distraction, authentic, intentional creativity remains our most powerful medium. AURO is built to remind us of this truth.

• AURO’s Promise:
  By turning the creative process into an engaging, interactive exercise, AURO refines and prioritizes your ideas. It transforms brainstorming into a spatial journey—helping you distinguish what truly matters.

• Cutting-Edge Tech:
  The app takes full advantage of advanced AR capabilities provided by the 5th generation Snapchat Spectacles. This technology, paired with dual-device interaction, offers a seamless experience between immersive AR visualization and quick idea input on a companion device.

• Digital Overload & Distraction:
  With endless streams of content and dopamine-driven habits filling our lives, it has become harder than ever to focus on meaningful ideas. AURO provides a dedicated space to escape the digital noise and concentrate on what is truly important.

The minimal viable product (MVP) of AURO follows a simple three-color strategy to help users prioritize their ideas:

• Red: Ideas of least importance.
• Yellow: Mid-level priority ideas.
• Green: High-priority ideas that are ready to be pursued.

This intuitive color-coded approach supports users in sifting through a myriad of thoughts to uncover the ideas that matter most.

During development, I integrated a range of innovative tools and platforms:

• Lens Studio: To bring AR experiences to life.
• Snapchat Spectacles: For immersive, on-the-go AR visualization.
• ChatGPT & Cursor: AI-driven tools that aided in rapid ideation.
• 3D Model Generation: Leveraging Meshi AI and Cinema 4D to create dynamic, spatial elements.
• Adobe Creative Suite: For crafting a sleek and modern visual interface.

AURO is more than just an app—it’s a platform that redefines the creative process. In an era of endless distractions and digital overload, AURO helps you channel your most authentic ideas and turn them into actionable insights. Whether you have a flood of ideas or just a single spark, AURO illuminates your path to what truly matters.
