AiR Notes is a project for adding virtual notes in real environments using augmented reality. The ideia consists of using anchors (QR codes) in the real world as an origin point for a virtual environment. Each anchor, supposedly always in the same position, creates a persistent reference in the real world that allows a virtual environment to be rendered in a consistent way around it.

You can watch the demo video and read the remaining of this readme for more informations.

A React Native app made for iOS using the react-native-arkit binding for ARKit.

The entire backend is created using the serverless framework over AWS. We use the API Gateway + AWS Lambda to create, get and update anchors saved at DynamoDB.

Use yarn install to install node dependencies This is step is also required by the python fuction(s). Use virtualenv to load the pyton requirements.txt file. If you have the AWS keys as your environment variables, you can then run serverless deploy at back-end/air-notes-api.
