Unlock

Every step makes a difference. We encourage movement indoors through features like Indoor Navigation, Escape room, and outdoors through Coin Rush. The coins are redeemed as goodies or NGO donations.

The problem Unlock solves

How can you improve navigation?
The Indoor Navigation helps solve the problem of navigating in malls, supermarkets, etc. On Scanning a QR code at the entry the location's floorplan is genetrated. The user can specifiy the location he wants to visit and the app directs him there using AR.

How can you improve lockdown experience?
The Escape Room feature helps solving this issue. Play various Escape Rooms(currently 1) in AR through your phone while sitting at home. The camera position gives it the feel of a psuedo VR experience as you feel a apart of the room standing inside.

How you can improve personal fitness after COVID pandemic?
Coin rush encorages people to walk, jog or run to increase their steps. They recieve coins based on the number of steps recorded. To futher drive the user towards fitness the number of calories and distance covered is also show. The coins can be redeemed for goodies or Donations to non profits.

Solutions so non profits can better tell their stories of the causes and communities they support. Basically develop solution so non profits can connect better with donors in digital world.
The Coins collected for walking can be used to make donations to non profits. The non-profits can describe their field of operation in the redeem section of the Coin Rush feature and the user can Donate to his preferred non profit based on this thus helpin them connect better with donors.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into a lot of hurdles while building this project, but managed to overcome a majority of them. The various problems we faced and how we solved them have been listed below:-

Indoor Navigation

We required a floor plan to build the indoor navigation feature, for this we used a floor plan available online for the purpose of the hackathon. Using floor plans of specific locations we can provide indoor navigation for them as well.
We also faced some ARCore black out issues which were tackled by removing multiple existence.
Position using EchoAR was solved by using metadata.
To create the minimap for the navigation we took the help of youtube videos.
To make navigation possible we used Navmesh in Unity

Coin Rush

To make transactions possible using Matic for blockchain, we used Ether as currency.
To make the Pedometer we used accelerometer in Unity to detect jerks.
