Project Overview

This Unity project is built for XR submission, featuring innovative AR solutions:

1. Markerless AR CAR (Pocket Showroom)

We have developed a markerless AR experience using Vuforia and Unity, allowing users to:

• Select their preferable car and place it in the real world.
• Customize the car's color.
• Interact with car doors and interior.

2. AR GPS Navigation

An AR-based navigation system offering:

• Real-time dashboard display with distance and directional guidance (e.g., right, left, etc.).
• Detailed area information displayed within the AR interface.
• Directions seamlessly integrated into the real-world view.

The AR navigation is designed to work by placing your phone inside your car, providing an immersive and intuitive driving assistant.
