This project involves building a small, focused Augmented Reality (AR) product preview application. The final tangible outcome will be a functional mobile application (iOS or Android) that allows a user to point their device camera at a real-world surface and dynamically place a 3D model of a product onto that surface. This demonstrates a foundational capability in mixed reality, allowing users to visualize how a product, such as a piece of furniture or an appliance, would look in their own environment before purchase. The application will enable basic interactions like moving, rotating, and scaling the virtual product.
This project is geared towards individuals who are motivated by immediate, visible results, enjoy hands-on technical problem-solving, and are drawn to the intersection of digital content and the physical world. It emphasizes developing a concrete, deployable solution with practical utility.
