Augmented Reality: Plugxr

Project Brief: 
In this project, we had to create an AR app through an online tool called Plugxr. We had to select any product from magazines or newspaper and create an augmented experience for it. We had to create either 3d animation of the product, additional information using motion graphics or any static content. Once its created, we had to upload all the files to plugxr and then create an ARapp.
Ideation:
Started searching for Ads in newspaper and found an Ad for mattresses, pillows, beds and accessories from Springwel.
Hence started creating the 3D model in blender. Once created, added the textures to the bed and pillows. Below is the process on how I created the 3D model. 
Process:
Once I created the 3D model, I exported it as a glb file. 
Then created an account in https://www.plugxr.com/ and  then we had to create a Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK to get license to make an app in Plug Xr.
I took a pic of the Ad and then uploaded it as the marker in plugxr.
so whenever the app recognizes this pic(marker) it will start to show the augmented model. 
After uploading the marker, uploaded the glb file and scaled it to fit the Ad.
and then created an splash screen and a logo for the app as below and then downloaded the apk file and installed in the android phone.

Below is the video on how it looks when the ad is scanned.
Reflective Analysis:
This was a new learning. I learnt how to use the 3D models for AR. Learnt to create an app for Augmented experience through Vuforia.
Also we could use other online models as well. We could use not only 3D models but also texts, image,video,musics tec . It was quite fun.
