The business model and presentation was developed by Benji Li, Daniel Frydman, and Ophir Greif. Our goal was My team and I developed a business solution to increase sales for Best Buy, and took home the 2nd place prize competing against 300 other people.</p>\n<h2>The problem</h2>\n<p>It’s not easy to picture how furniture or appliances would look like in your home. I mean yes, you could view pictures of that flat-screen TV you want online, but you have to visit in-store to really get a feel for the TV. In addition, perhaps you’d like to picture how a refrigerator  would fit in your kitchen, or how if that TV would fit on your wall.</p>\n<h2>The solution</h2>\n<p>We developed an AR (augmented reality) android application. In this app, you’re able to view your TV (or eventually, other consumer electronics), right from your own home.</p>\n<h2>My Role</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>I implemented the AR features in android studio and the 3d models.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Key features</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Able to view varying TV products in Augmented Reality</li>\n<li>Able to change the size of the TV in inches, with a real world scale</li>\n<li>As a joke, able to place, additionally, a refrigerator, gaming desk equipped with a computer, and airpods.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Technologies used</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>I used android-studio as the IDE to develop the app</li>\n<li>Google’s ARcore technology</li>\n<li>Java/Gradle</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Lessons learned</h2>\n<p>This was my first time working in an android app!

It was also fun working with the business strategists, Benji Li, Daniel Frydman, and Ophir Greif.
