 INTRODUCTION

Abstract:

The AR Business Card project introduces an innovative approach to traditional networking

by leveraging augmented reality (AR) technology. This project aims to create a digital
business card experience that enhances engagement, interactivity, and memorability in
networking interactions. By incorporating AR features such as image recognition, interactive
content, and clickable links, the AR Business Card offers users a dynamic and immersive
platform for showcasing their personal or professional information.

About Project:

The AR Business Card project seeks to reimagine the conventional paper-based business card
by integrating AR technology to create an interactive and engaging networking experience.
Through image recognition, users can scan the AR Business Card with their mobile device to
unlock a digital overlay of multimedia content, including text, graphics, videos, and
interactive elements. Additionally, clickable links embedded within the AR environment
allow users to seamlessly access webpages, social media profiles, and other online resources.
The project aims to streamline networking interactions, provide a memorable first
impression, and foster deeper connections between individuals and businesses in today's
digital world.
 2. Technologies Used
Unity is a robust game development engine that has evolved to support the creation
of immersive augmented reality (AR) applications. Here's a more detailed breakdown
of Unity's capabilities for AR development:

1. AR Foundation:

 AR Foundation is Unity's framework for building AR experiences across

different platforms, including ARCore for Android and ARKit for iOS.
 It provides a unified API that abstracts away the differences between
AR platforms, making it easier for developers to create cross-platform
AR applications.
 AR Foundation enables features such as plane detection, object
tracking, and environmental understanding, allowing developers to
create interactive AR experiences that interact seamlessly with the real
world.

2. Vuforia Integration:

 Unity integrates with Vuforia, a leading AR development platform, to

provide additional AR capabilities.
 Vuforia offers tools for marker-based and markerless AR, including
image recognition, object recognition, and spatial mapping.
 Developers can leverage Vuforia's features within Unity to create AR
applications with advanced functionalities, such as interactive product
visualization, educational experiences, and gaming applications.

3. Unity Editor for AR Development:

 Unity's editor provides a comprehensive environment for designing,

prototyping, and testing AR experiences.
 Developers can import 3D models, animations, and other assets into
the Unity editor and position them within the AR environment.
 Unity's scene view allows developers to preview AR content directly
within the editor, facilitating rapid iteration and development.

4. Scripting and Interactivity:

7
  Unity supports scripting in C# and provides a powerful scripting API for
implementing interactivity and behaviors in AR applications.
 Developers can use scripts to control AR elements, handle user
interactions, and implement game mechanics.
 Unity's visual scripting tool, Bolt, offers a node-based approach to
scripting, making it accessible to developers without extensive coding
experience.

5. Physics and Rendering:

 Unity's physics and rendering systems enable developers to create

realistic AR interactions and visual effects.
 Physics simulations can be integrated into AR applications to create
dynamic interactions between virtual and real-world objects.
 Unity's rendering engine supports features such as dynamic lighting,
shadows, and shaders, enhancing the visual fidelity of AR experiences.

6. Cross-Platform Deployment:

 Unity allows developers to deploy AR applications to a wide range of

platforms, including mobile devices, tablets, AR glasses, and VR
headsets.
 With Unity's cross-platform capabilities, developers can reach a broad
audience and deliver AR experiences to users on different devices and
operating systems.

 2. Application Functionalities
The AR Business Card application aims to revolutionize traditional business cards by
leveraging augmented reality (AR) technology to create immersive and interactive
experiences. Here's a detailed description of its functionality:

1. Image Recognition and Tracking:

 The AR Business Card application utilizes image recognition technology

to detect and track the business card's unique image or marker.
 When the user points their mobile device's camera at the business
card, the application recognizes the image and initiates the AR
experience.

2. Displaying Text in AR Environment:

 Upon successfully recognizing the business card's image, the AR

Business Card application overlays digital content onto the real-world
view captured by the device's camera.
 The application displays text or graphics directly onto the surface of
the business card, enhancing its visual presentation and providing
additional information about the cardholder or their business.
 Users can view details such as the cardholder's name, job title, contact
information, company logo, and other relevant details in an engaging
AR environment.

3. Interactive Links and Webpage Navigation:

 In addition to displaying text and graphics, the AR Business Card

application offers interactive features, such as clickable links embedded
within the AR content.
 Users can interact with the AR elements displayed on the business card,
such as tapping on a specific piece of text or graphic.
 When a user clicks on a link within the AR environment, the application
seamlessly opens the associated webpage or URL in the device's web
browser.
 This functionality allows users to access additional information about
the cardholder or their business, such as portfolio websites, social
media profiles, or online contact forms, directly from the AR Business
Card application.

9
4. Customization and Personalization:

 The AR Business Card application provides options for customization

and personalization, allowing users to tailor the AR experience to their
preferences.
 Users can customize the text, graphics, and interactive elements
displayed on their AR business card, ensuring that it accurately reflects
their brand identity and communicates key information effectively.
 The application may offer templates, themes, and design tools to assist
users in creating visually stunning and impactful AR business cards that
leave a lasting impression on recipients.

5. Cross-Platform Compatibility:

 The AR Business Card application is designed for cross-platform

compatibility, supporting a wide range of mobile devices, including
smartphones and tablets running iOS and Android operating systems.
 By leveraging AR frameworks such as AR Foundation and
ARCore/ARKit, the application ensures a consistent and seamless AR
experience across different devices and platforms.
 Users can confidently share their AR business cards with clients,
colleagues, and business partners, knowing that the AR experience will
be accessible and engaging on various devices.
