Nature Nexus: AR office enviroment - Prototype

This project was developed in Bogotá, Colombia, for IT managers. It explores different types of interactions using augmented reality (AR) technology on mobile phones. The application was built with Unity and Vuforia.

Vuforia - 3D Scan

The office environment was scanned using Vuforia’s area tracking feature, and the resulting data was used to display AR elements in Unity based on the tracked areas. Each area of the office was designed to enable distinct interactions.

App Feature Breakdown

Houses


AR Data Visualization (AR Foundation – no office scan)
This feature does not rely on the office scan. Instead, it uses AR Foundation tools to display graphs based on the phone’s position. Users can resize, rotate, move, and delete these graphs interactively.

Object Recognition (Vuforia)
Within the same app, Vuforia recognizes predefined 3D objects. When identified, relevant information appears in AR. The app can also redirect users to external websites related to the detected object’s topic.

AR Navigation Map (Area Tracking + Phone Location)
This section uses a preloaded map of the office combined with the phone’s tracked location. Based on the 3D scan, the app places virtual arrows around the office. Users can select from three different office areas, and the app dynamically adjusts the arrow directions based on the user’s position to guide them to the chosen destination (using Vuforia’s object recognition capabilities).

Logo Recognition (Image Recognition – Vuforia)
The first part of the app recognizes the IT Managers company logo using Vuforia’s image recognition. Once identified, it displays 3D models that represent the company’s characteristics—such as VR glasses and other tech-related elements.

Gamification Areas (Area Recognition – Vuforia) - Roman themed game
A cat catches birds that constantly appear and fly around. The player collects points while exploring the entrance area.

Gamification Areas (Area Recognition – Vuforia) - Jungle-themed game
A cartoonish representation of the Colosseum. A character can walk around the Colosseum, picking up apples and food to explore the living room environment.

This app functioned as a showroom demonstration, built to present a client with the full spectrum of AR technical capabilities and interaction possibilities. It combined image, object, and area recognition (Vuforia) with AR Foundation tools to deliver office navigation, object-triggered content, gamified experiences, and real-time data visualization. More than just a tech demo, the project illustrated how AR can turn a physical workspace into an adaptive, engaging, and informative environment—tailored specifically for IT management contexts.
