Robothon 2021 - postcARTs

The purpose of this project is to introduce and empower the technology of AI and Augmented Reality (AR) into the usage of postcards for the tourism industry. We believe we can make postcard sending more exciting and attractive to both older and younger generations. Our project allows postcard senders to put their creative ideas into action and let receivers get exciting and unusual gifts, which will be remembered for a long time. Our team has designed a prototype of a mobile application called postcARTs, which allows us to customize any picture with the use of AI and AR and turn it into a unique experience. After being created, the postcard can be further scanned and brought to life. The steps for the sender include adding a photo that will be an identifying marker. Next, the user can upload a video (a layer over the image), choose background music, 3D model objects, and visual effects to make a postcard more dynamic. All in all, the application developed has achieved its objective as stated in
