Reality, Virtually, Hackathon @ MIT - 2016 realityvirtuallyhack.com
This project is applying Augmented Reality Wikipedia AR
We were inspired by how AR (particularly in Pokemon Go) started organic conversations, brought people together and created communities.
It allows users to scan other users and figure out mutual interests to organically start conversations.
We used Unity, CSharp, Microsoft-Cognitive-Services, and Vuforia.
The act of actually mapping something next to a face proved to be something more difficult than anticipated.
We've managed to accomplish facial tracking on the Tango --- Android mobile devices.
Ideally, this would eventually recognize individual faces instead just sensing when there's a face in front of the camera. This would allow customization with the different graphics. Nudge could ideally become a more interactive experience with more motion instead of tracking static images. With technological processing advances, the tracking would also ideally be more immediate.
