UniNav

📝 About the Project

The aim of this project is to develop both a mobile application and an interactive website to assist users in navigating through the Faculty of Physics at Adam Mickiewicz University. By utilizing Augmented Reality (AR), QR codes, and responsive web design, the project enhances navigation within the faculty building and provides a seamless experience for users both on-site and remotely.

Our solution focuses on making the faculty more accessible for everyone, including individuals with disabilities, by providing multiple navigation tools and features.

📱 Mobile Application

The mobile app leverages AR technology using the Unity 3D engine. By scanning existing QR codes placed throughout the Faculty, users can receive real-time navigation assistance. The integration of AR Foundation (compatible with ARCore) enables a smooth interaction between the physical space and virtual navigation tools.

•  Built using Unity 3D for immersive AR experiences.

🌐 Website

The website is developed with React and features a responsive interactive map of the Faculty. This map allows users to plan their routes before entering the building, taking into account factors such as accessibility options for people with disabilities. The website makes it easy to locate rooms, offices, and key facilities.

•  Powered by React for a dynamic and responsive user interface.

♿ Accessibility Features

• 3D-printed tactile maps: For visually impaired individuals, we are creating 3D-printed maps of the Faculty, with Braille labels and tactile features, allowing them to navigate the building independently.
• Accessible route planning: Both the mobile app and website consider accessibility factors such as step-free routes and features designed for people with limited mobility.

🚀 Project Goals

In today's fast-paced technological landscape, academic spaces should adapt to the needs of modern users. This project not only delivers innovative tools but also emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive environments that cater to everyone.

Our objectives:

• Enhance accessibility to the Faculty with AR navigation.
• Provide a user-friendly web interface for pre-arrival planning.
• Ensure the platform is inclusive, offering tools for individuals with disabilities.

🔧 Technologies Used

• Unity 3D: For building the AR-powered mobile application.
• AR Foundation: To support AR functionality on mobile devices.
• React: For the responsive and interactive website.
• 3D Printing: To create tactile maps for visually impaired users.
