AR Menu

AR Menu is an augmented reality application designed for restaurants and cafes, allowing customers to visualize their potential orders in a virtual setting on their tables before placing them. Using Unity and C#, this project aimed to enhance the dining experience by providing a realistic preview of how the ordered items would be presented. The application utilizes Unity's AR Toolkit to project virtual representations of menu items onto the user's table when viewed through a smartphone

Game Engine: Unity
Programming Language: C#
Framework: Unity AR Toolkit
Tools: Unity Editor for development, Visual Studio for coding, collaboration with design software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator) for 3D models and textures
Platforms: Mobile (iOS, Android)

Real-time AR Visualization: Allows customers to view virtual representations of their selected menu items on their tables in real-time.
Interactive Menu: Users can select items from the digital menu, and the app will display a 3D model of the chosen dish in its actual presentation style.
