Making virtual tourism easy for travel enthusiast ; Visiting places from your couch

The problem YatriKosh solves

This is an application to make tourism much easier and fun during this pandemic situation and post-pandemic situations. This app can be used to travel remotely throughout India as virtual maps and we can visit places staying at home and maintain the social distance. After this situation, tourists can also visit places and can book recorded guides for places and that makes guiding many numbers of tourists at the same time for a guide. So the guides can have much more income than before. Later on, this could be partnered with cab bookings as ola, uber and also with food delivery agents as zomato, swiggy. So all this will make this app to be the complete app for any tourists.

Challenges we ran into

This was a project like we can only imagine but to make it possible we had made many pieces of research. Till now not all the issues are solved. Our first challenge was to build a flutter app. Then to merge the Auth0 database registration with it. Although we coudn't made it so made that server with MongoDb and Heroku. Lastly, the addition of VR/3d map data is the greatest challenge we faced. We used Google map apis for travelling as persons and Google earth api for travelling remotely. We used google 360 for making VR rooms.
