Purpose

AR Visualizer is a project aimed at showcasing how famous algorithms (e.g: Bubble Sort, Shell Sort,...) work in a more immersive experience using "Augmented Reality" technologies.

Technologies used

• C# (Programming language)
• Unity (Game engine)
• Arcore (Google's augmented reality SDK)

Features

• Scan flat surfaces with your mobile phone's camera.
• Spawn "Bar Graphs" on top of scanned surfaces to use them for visualizations.
• Manipulate your "Bar Graphs" using phone touch:
  • Select which object you want to manipulate by tapping on it.
  • Rotate your object on Y axis by twisting two fingers in desired direction.
  • Move your object by holding your finger on desired object and then dragging it around.
• Delete "Bar Graphs" by selecting them and then pressing the "Delete" button on top right corner.
• Change the algorithm used for sorting using a drop down list (currently we have: Bubble Sort, Shell Sort and Selection Sort)
• Sort Arrays "Bar Graphs" using the "Start Sorting" button on bottom left corner.
• Randomize Arrays to sort them again ("Randomize" button on bottom left corner).
