Challenges :- Augmented reality is still the future for technology and right now in transition to what we call Today's World .
1.The technnology requires high-end and expensive devices for proper functioning. 2.ARkit is only available on Iphone and ARcore (for androids) has recently launched its first version. 3.Devices with Ground Plane detection are launched but are expensive. 4.RealTime database is reqiuired for all users to play or to connect at a same time.
Solutions :-
1.App has been created on Unity + Vuforia , which is a "CROSS PLATFORM Environment" thus apps for both Ios and Android can be build using it. 2.For the sake of ground plane , Vuforia's GROUND PLANE image is used. 3.Firebase is used to provide a Safe and Perfect environment for Realtime DB.
glitches : 1.uneven background is shown at back of the screen (map like structure) on Turning on AR mode . --> this is due to unavailibilty of smart tracking on the phone. -->solution to this will be provided when more devices supporting smart tracking will be launched , supporting ARcore.
Future Updates and Add-ons :
1.AR modules like decoding TExt, Seing animations and learning about Rajasthan Royal Culture etc. 2.to Connect all users With a Chat Room
