Project Progress Report 2
Spatial AR Based Interactive Storytelling
Group Members: Mohini Thakkar, Samrat Ambadekar, Varun Thakkar
Abstract
AR based app to encourage social interactions based on geo-location. The app serves as a memory book reminding users of sweet moments they have shared with their friends and families at specific locations. The application helps users avoid boredom whenever they are traveling to work, school etc.
Project details:
· To create an AR application for interactive story sharing amongst your friends using user’s geo-location.
· The app tracks user’s current location and uses Facebook API to pull all the photos the user is tagged in at that location.
· All users photos are displayed in the 3d AR view and the user can interact with each of these to re-live the story or take the story forward by liking/commenting etc.
· This will create a kind of social networking experience using rich media and storytelling.
Tasks accomplished:
· Creating a web based facebook application to fetch all the photos the user was tagged in at the current geo-location. The facebook api is used to manage the authentication and authorization.
· Once retrieved the photos are displayed in an AR environment through an interactive photo album. This has been made possible using three.js in Argon. The photos are placed in space at geo-location in which they were tagged.
Individual Contributions:
· Samrat Ambadekar – Wrote code to display the photos in 3d space in Argon and support interaction with the photos.
· Varun Thakkar – Wrote code to retrieve the phone’s current geo-location and display the photos at the geo-location.
· Mohini Thakkar – Wrote code to fetch all photos user is tagged in at a given geo-location using Facebook API.
Future Plan:
| Week | Goals |
| April 7 – April 13 | Run the face-book web app in Argon. Support interaction with each photo within a cluster displayed at a specific geo-location in Argon. |
| April 14 – April 20 | Support liking/commenting on photos to encourage social interactions. Testing it for robustness |
| April 22 | Final Presentation |
