18w-hikar-frontend's Introduction

18w-hikar-frontend

Repository for HikAR Unity Frontend

HikAR is a hiking-focused navigation app that utilizes AR technology to effectively guide the user on their outdoor adventure.

Architecture

Vuforia SDK (version 7.35) -- Used for AR overlay

Mapbox SDK (version 1.4) -- Used for topographic map generation as well as retrieving elevation data

Overpass Turbo -- Used to query OpenStreetMaps for trail information which is then stored in our backend

Setup

Download the project and open in Unity (2018.1f)
Perform a test build by running the project in the Unity editor (your webcam should turn on and a map of Hanover, NH should be rendered)

Deployment

Download the Unity project and open in Unity
Go to File -> Build -> Build Settings and choose the mobile platform you want to deploy to (iOS or Android)

For Android: You will need to download and setup the Android SDK for Unity (Minimum API level: Android 4.4 Kit-Kat)
Select Build and Run with your mobile device connected
For iOS, the app should open in Xcode and install on your phone. Make sure you have the correct signing certificates.

For Android, the app will be built into an .apk file which you can transfer to your phone using ADB and the command adb install <path_to_apk>
Make sure to enable location services and camera permissions on startup. If you don't have an account, enter your desired credentials and press the [Sign Up] button on the log-in view.

18w-hikar-frontend's Issues

Fix UI bugs

-Slide in Menu bugs/improvements
- stop hamburger menu from persisting
-other (as see fit)

Find trails from user location given specified radius

Improve UI display for directional tracking

Connect WWWHandler to Scene manager and capture info

Keep track of 2 mapbox render locations with a "search-trail" camera

User Profile Page

Populate the backend

Populate the backend database with trail data across the USA from Open Street Maps.
create API endpoints for frontend use

Set-up Location Services

Get user location and be able to update it

Get Unity to pull and display data from heroku website

Lmk if there's any trouble with this

Keep track of trails user has been on

Customize the annotation screen

colors, fonts, different types of annotation choices

Setting orientation of scene

Anchor orientations of annotations and path according to true world coordinates

trail data integration into core functionality

Reorient true north

Currently broken, I'll figure out why

Parse geoJSON to display nearby trails

geoJSON returned by Mapbox API

Correctly rotating Topo HUD

Connect backend to server and deploy to Heroku

Done

Wire up Vuforia SDK (basic)

Wire up Vuforia SDK as a proof-of-concept ... bare minimum just see if it works

Try to pull trail data from MapBox API

Try to get access to trail heads and paths via the MapBox API. Bonus points if you can provide a visual representation of the trails.

Get repo ready for PR request and transition from Unity Collab

Should work for everyone

Hook MainCamera up to phone movement + location changes

The MainCamera should move when the user's phone changes location
The MainCamera should lookAt() wherever the phone is pointing

Get Trail from API call and parse into Vector2d

Get Trail data from API (Mapbox?) and parse the JSON into Mapbox Vector2d objects

Objective user geolocation based on device orientation

Get Map based on User Location

Query for a map from MapBox using the user's initial location

Milestone planning

Use user location to query for nearby trails

Use Mapbox API

Update Camera Location based on Device Location updates

Calculate distance moved (in real-world) and translate Unity camera appropiately

Anchor path to mesh

Render path on mid-plane when user is on it

Render the path according to the mid-plane using Vuforia AR features

Way to go back from the 2d map to the 3d map

when you bring up the 2d map, there doesn't seem to be a way to go back to your 3d view

UI Skeleton - Create UI Element Overlay

Create a UI element that is displayed over the play screen

Optimize Express.js Server Calls

Work on the script that calls to the server (WWWHandler.cs). Calls should be organized and the information should be captured and assigned to appropriate data structures.

Create Node prefab

MapBox request should load a high-quality topo map

The current topo map is subpar, it should be more detailed(more accurate) and be tailored to the Outdoor Mapbox style

Backend, user metadata

Expand the backend to allow metadata capability

Transport wiki to frontend

Finished

Implement search bar functionality

Track total distance traveled

Create wireframe out of Topo Map

Create a transparent mesh object out of the TopoMap to display in AR

Populate backend for testing and allow for posting to backend

Backend User auth

Update wiki

Convert annotation coordinates to unity world coordinates

Create annotation prefab

Find a 3D model asset (or multiple) and provide all fields necessary for displaying the annotation (text, location, elevation (?), user (?), anything else)
