Project Title

prospectus on the go

Project Area of Specialization Augmented and Virtual RealityProject Summary

This project proposes the idea  of augmented reality(AR) which will be the upcoming future of Pakistan in technologyOur project  ”prospectus on the go”  is where we will digitalize our university prospectus into an android application and IOS application we will launch it on play store as well with a flavor of AR (augmented reality).The language that's used in Unity is called C# (pronounced C-sharp). All the languages that Unity operates with are object-oriented scripting languages. Like any language, scripting languages have syntax, or parts of speech, and the primary parts are called variables, functions, and classes.
With the assistance of C# scripting, designers can make effectives scenes and creative prefebs.  In our project we will discuss the view of our university Such as, campus overview, members/faculty  profile, library and laboratories overview, canteens and other service rooms which are included in the prospectus through 3D modeling, We will use a software named "Unity" “Whiteboard” "After Effect" and some More by using this platform we will describe the basic information about the course outline and other things . as well as we make characters of our chancellor,vice cancellor and other heads persons of the departments  through animated videos ,  There will be a feature  whenever the user will scan a picture of chairman or any other head faculty member they can have a short look on their interview  or if  user scan the text there is a short overview about the text inform of video or animation  , all these  things will be stored on cloud which is easily accessable . 

By this application, students will be allowed to use the camera to scan the prospectus. Every page and every important field of the prospectus will show a written description or a descriptive video according to the scan result. By this, students will learn more about the university and its facilities.

Project Objectives

To easily add advanced computer vision functionality to application and to create Augmented Reality experience that realistically interact with the campus environment, the Vuforia engie will be used. As it is a widely used software development kit platform for augmented reality project development for leading smart phones, tablets, and eyewears. It is an advanced tool and with its support our designing team will draw visual technologies to recognize and track planar medias and 3D objects in real time. Vuforia is not unlimited to use for free, but it provides a limited offer to use its platform which will be enough for the use.
To test this application, a virtual software environment will be used. With the help of testing, it will be easy to overcome the problems and drawbacks of the project. After the simulation testing, the APK file will be created to test the project on an Android smartphone.
The ultimate goal of our digital prospectus project is to create a convenient and natural immersion. This project will assist the students to understand and learn more about the prospectus. Because it is interesting to use the softcopy application instead of the hardcopy catalyst. Also, this application will include many other things, e.g: important events.
The important objectives of this application are:

1. High quality of educational spirit
2. Overview of co-curricular activities.
3. Defining the facilities (libraries, auditoriams, laboratories and medical etc)
4. Background information
5. Arial overview
6. 3D models of building
7. Objectives of managing committee
8. Informative Interviews
9. Addressing of social networks, blogs and sites.
10. Mode of admission rules and respects.
11. Overview of department
12. Detailed maps and locations.

Project Implementation Method

In implemtation process there is a desiging phase where we will be initiated by creating an environment on 3D Unity Engine by using the augmented reality tools and libraries.Creating  application related to Andorid and IOS  (designing of UI ) both after that create a model of university . and their departs , making a overview of all university by using drone . then taking the short interviews of  our chairman ,vice chancellor , dean , factly members and so on in form of text , videos images and then making the character such as 3d model of them  .  and making the animation videos on animation softwares  or after effect software related to text or information further more disscuss the all information which is given in prospectus

The obtained multimedia will be saved on a database or cloud server which will be accessed by an Android Application and ios application then purchased the domain for launching the application

A virtual assisting application will be downloaded to test the augmented reality scan results in the initial states. After the completion of project, the both  application will be tested on any a smartphone

The evaluation of project  on simulation results, timing charts, hardware & software demonstration.(in form of poster report)

Benefits of the Project

As the AR technology is currently running in the maket the benefits of our poject " Prospectus ob the go  " are given below:

1. Easy to understand
2. There is no need to read the whole  prospectus  
3. The user easily get the specific information about the courses 
4. Time saving 
5. The user easily the see the overview of university  and also its departmets
6. High quality educational spriit 
7. Inovative and feasible to implement 
8. It is cost efficient 
9. 1overiew of co-curricular activites
10. friendly enviroment 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In this project  " Prospectus on the Go "  where we digitilized the prospectus through th favlours of  AR , form the very fisrt the desigining of 3D model of university in which setting the size , length or wide  of the model  according to archiecture .

after that,  creation of characters of chancellor , VC , chairman and other faculty members  then record the short interviews of them and then import the voice into the  models 

In the third step develpoing the animated videos or animations of objects according to the prospect  which is inculed written information , iamges and so on .the rendering process take some time   conversion of text into voice or speech . White board  , Aftereffect software is  going to be used.  

In 4th step the creation of   AR applaiction in Unity for both andorid and ios , developing user interface UI  for the user setting the canvas of the button tab  so on creation the pages in application , aftre that there is an other   important step  which is target  all the charactres, models, animations videos  in  some objecst  which is builtin object in unity  or we cretae them , we aslo used assets store or probuilder   or toolkit in  unity  when ever user scan the specific object its show the model, character , informatoin about the coures  ans so on  . the most important part to calculated the postion of the camera for overlay the virtual graphics overview

In 5th step the buy the domain for both applucaion and  launching them after that test the applicctaion.
