Business Needs
Understanding your business needs, one solution at a time.
Defining The Problem
We get into all the ins and outs of our client’s problem.
- The main issue is that our shopping priorities often shift, causing us to buy things we didn’t plan to.
- Even though we have a clear idea of what we want to buy, we often get distracted and end up purchasing something else.
- The many distractions, attractive deals, and discounts in stores make it hard to stay focused on our original shopping goals.
Understanding The Need
We innovate while keeping people's needs in mind.
- The primary objective was to develop an augmented reality (AR) mobile application.
- The purpose of the AR app was to assist users in locating their desired products within the entire shopping mall.
- The app leveraged the mobile camera to provide an enhanced shopping experience.
- By utilizing AR technology, users were able to scan their surroundings and receive real-time information about the product’s location.
- The app employed advanced algorithms to accurately identify and guide users to the specific area or store where their desired product was available.

Scalable App Solution

The Journey
-
1
Analyzing
The architectural plans of the shopping mall were carefully examined due to its significant size, encompassing factors such as the multiple floors, mall layout, and the quantity of shops per floor.
-
2
Updating
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization & Mapping) technology was integrated to both update the shopping mall map and track the user’s location within it simultaneously.
-
3
Google Places API
The client’s request mandated manual entry of each shop’s data, which was facilitated using the Google Places API.
-
4
Development
We utilized the AR toolkit, an open-source augmented reality SDK, to create cross-platform AR applications.
-
5
Testing and QA
This phase guarantees the application operates as designed, delivering a smooth and user-friendly experience.
The fight was tough but so fun to crack!
To ensure a valuable outcome, our initial focus for the AR app was on precision.
- Given the close proximity of the shops in the shopping mall and the need for detailed information, we had to maintain a high level of accuracy.
- To achieve this, we acquired the mall’s layout and utilized SLAM technology.
- Despite facing tight deadlines, we successfully met them, thanks to the expertise of our team in AR/VR specialists.
