Problem Statement


Mumbai is home to numerous iconic architectural landmarks, each rich in history, aesthetics, and unique design elements. However, there is a lack of interactive tools to engage visitors and locals with these landmarks in an immersive way. Leveraging mobile-based Augmented Reality (AR) can provide an engaging platform to educate, entertain, and inspire users while showcasing the historical, aesthetic, and architectural significance on the facade of sites such as Regal Cinema, Oriental Building, and Jehangir Art Gallery.


Project Requirements


1. Site Selection:

Participants must choose one of the following iconic sites in Mumbai for the AR experience:


Regal Cinema
Regal Cinema

Oriental Building
Oriental Building

Jehangir Art Gallery
Jehangir Art Gallery


2. AR Experience Features:

The AR experience must be divided into the following three parts:


Historical Information:
          Provide engaging and concise historical context and key facts about the site.


Aesthetic Enhancements:
 Include quirky and artistic elements that enhance the visual appeal of the site, making it Instagram-worthy and fun to interact with.


Architectural Highlights:
Emphasize significant architectural elements such as design motifs, structural features, and styles that define the site’s character.


3. Tools and Technologies:

Participants can use the following tools to develop the mobile AR experience:


ARKit (for iOS devices)
ARCore (for Android devices)
Snap CameraKit SDK (for cross-platform AR filter integration. Avoid using Snapchat directly)

4. Output and Interaction:


The AR experience must work seamlessly on mobile devices.
The experience must be superimposed on the facades of the buildings
It should provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
Users should be able to toggle between the three filter parts (History, Aesthetics, Architecture) easily.

5. User Engagement:


Ensure the AR experience encourages exploration and learning.
Include interactive elements like tap-to-reveal facts, animations, and transitions to keep users engaged.

6. Deliverables:


A fully functional mobile-based AR experience for one of the listed sites. As a submission you would be required to send the actual link of the live AR experience.
Documentation of the design and development process.
A short video showcasing the AR experience in action.

7. Handy Recommended Tools:

Luma AI
PolyCam
