Inspiration
Have an interactive way to explore data, show key components, and show important safety related information on a visual scale based on location.
What it does
Loads any kind of data given to it and projects it in a AR globe of the world based on geolocation. The globe is interactive so you can drill down on the data and if more information is needed, you can load that drilled down data as chart and project.
How we built it
UnityAR and a bunch of API's
Challenges we ran into
The initial idea was to load the data form elasticsearch. And this was a huge undertaking for a hackathon. That part is still unfinished and will be done in some other hackathon. I needed to scale down and select the JHU covid data for a good demo.
Even now you will see the app fails a lot while loading the charts and is very glitchy while exploring the charts. This is mostly because of my underpowered Pixel XL and Pixel 2 XL. A newer phone will be way more smoother (I hope)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It at least works (most of the time). And lags quite a lot in my Pixel XL. But works fine in a modern phone. So a lot of optimizations are probably needed
What we learned
I should have stuck to WebXR
What's next for Globe-Viz
Implement the ES part
