3D Product Visualization using Augmented Reality

The problem ARCOM solves

Problem:
• One of the greatest drawbacks of shopping online is the lack of a tangible
merchandising experience that physical stores and retail outlets provide.
• All the current e-commerce sites display products in such a way
that customers do not get the complete perception of products.
• Often, customers that buy online have never seen the product. They want
to examine things from every angle on their screen.

Solution: • With the help of Augmented Reality, we will develop an application that will super impose the virtual images of any product onto the physical environment by means of a smart phone. • The application will grant customers, who typically shop online, the chance to view the product in form of a model they can interact with, in the same manner they would, if they were visiting a physical store.

Impact:
It is seen that of the total visits to an e-commerce websites, only 2.72% are converted into purchases.​ This is because the consumers are hesitant to buy products without having a proper perception of them.​ With the use of this app, consumers will be more confident about the products they wish to buy.

Contribution:
Atharva Kulkarni- Designed the Unity3D app using ARCore library, made it compatible with the android app.
Chinmay Joshi- Designed the e-commerce android app, created the firebase database with products details, integrated with Unity3D
Aditya Gunjal- Created the dataset of 3D models of products, created the server and hosted on Heroku platform.

Challenges we ran into

Challenge: The process of 3D model generation was complicated and time consuming.
Solution: Used Open Multiview Stereo library.

Challenge: The integration of Unity3D with Android App was tedious.
Solutiom: Made changes in gradle files of android app, added necessary libraries externally.
