WeShop: You Augmented Reality Shopping Assistant

This project was made as part of the December 2016 Cal AR Hackathon (http://arhacks.io/) WeShop is a prototype AR assistant intended run on an Android device placed on the inside of a shopping cart's basket, looking down. Upon being uploaded to an Android device, this app can detect from a set of previously scanned items, and add or remove them from your shopping cart balance as you a place them inside or outside the shopping cart respectively.

Requirements

1. An installation of Android SDK (It comes with Android studio).
2. Android studio. https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html
3. An Android device with a camera.

Installation

To optimize the time and resources of the lone software dev, the project was setup upon modified sample files from vuforia-samples-core-android-6-1-17.zip found in https://developer.vuforia.com/downloads/samples

The meat of changes can be found in the classes inside com/vuforia/samples/VuforiaSamples/app/ObjectRecognition You can see the full list of changes in differences.diff

We provided multiple ways of running/modifying the app:
