NAB wants to encourage kids to save. Real savings convert to in-game currency, which in turn can be used to furnish a (cardboard cutout) treehouse from a huge library of super cute items. The treehouse is visualised in augmented reality. Users are able to seamlessly drag and drop elements from a 2d space into the 3d, and drag around in AR.
C-Suite changes at NAB saw this project shelved despite very positive focus testing.
Platform: iOS and Android
Development: Unity 3d using Vuforia, ARKit & ARCore
Language: C# and HLSL
LiTM was brought inhouse to work as technical lead given our extensive AR experience. The project used hybrid tracking, using both marker and markerless.
