This project challenges developers to create an interactive AR tool for city planners and citizens to visualize and manipulate urban changes in real-time within their actual surroundings. The tool enables users to experiment with urban elements such as buildings, roads, and parks, providing a hands-on approach to planning and understanding the potential impact of their designs. + +**Purpose:** +The purpose of this application is to help city planners and citizens visualize urban development plans using augmented reality, allowing for more informed and interactive decision-making. The tool enables users to experiment with city layouts, simulate traffic and pedestrian movements, and assess environmental impacts directly in the real world, enhancing the planning process. + +**Resources Needed:** +- ARCore for Android development +- ARKit for iOS development +- Unity AR Foundation for building cross-platform AR experiences +- OpenStreetMap for real-world city data +- CityEngine for urban planning and modeling + +**User Stories:** +- User can scan a real-world area using their mobile device to create a 3D map of the environment. +- User can add virtual buildings, roads, and other urban elements to the scanned environment. +- User can adjust the size, position, and orientation of virtual elements using touch gestures. +- User can switch between different pre-designed urban planning themes (e.g., eco-friendly, high-density, historical preservation). +- User can see real-time simulations of traffic flow, pedestrian movement, and environmental impact based on their design choices. + +**Bonus Features:** +- User can collaborate with other users in real-time, seeing and interacting with each other's changes. +- User can import actual city data and regulations to ensure designs comply with local laws. +- User can generate reports on the economic, environmental, and social impacts of their proposed changes. + +**Useful Links and Resources:** +- [ARCore (for Android)](https://developers.google.com/ar) +- [ARKit (for iOS)](https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/arkit/) +- [Unity AR Foundation](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.arfoundation@4.1/manual/index.html) +- [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) +- [CityEngine](https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-cityengine/overview) + +**Example Projects:** +- [Augmented Reality for Smart Cities](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328079550_Augmented_Reality_for_Smart_Cities) +- [AR Urban Planner](https://www.hindawi.com/journals/misy/2020/1291347/)
