THE CHALLENGE
The app is a ground detection Augmented Reality App that introduces the new bike model to fans. The users can play around with integrating the bike into any environment and configuring it to their personal preferences.
Users can explore all the key features and color variations of the bike. We used real-time 3D to create a smooth and engaging user experience.
Since lighting and material fidelity were the most important and most demanding parts of the application, a big focus was made on optimizations and finding clever solutions. For the materials on the models, custom shaders were written in order to remove unnecessary calculations.
Elements like custom shaders and simulating real time lightning reflections is what set the App apart, capturing tiny surface and lighting details that deliver the highest quality experience. This greatly reduced the requirements of the devices while giving the end user the same experience.
