Briefly describe your projects key features and tech stack used
"Tales of VR" is an immersive AR experience that enables users to embark on a historical journey through AR, exploring iconic VR devices from the 19th to the 21st century. Utilizing Niantic Maps and a bespoke geolocation system, the app places virtual content worldwide, guiding users to "points of interest" in nearby public spaces for discovering temporal anomalies and VR headsets from different eras. The tech stack includes the integration of 8th Wall Try-On, allowing users to virtually try on collected devices using their front camera, enhancing the experience with photo and video sharing capabilities.

What was the inspiration for your project?
The inspiration for "Tales of VR" stems from our fascination with the rich history and evolution of VR technology, from its inception in the 19th century to its sophisticated forms in the 21st century. The narrative was sparked by the imaginative scenario of Scientist Doty, a character driven by her ambition to complete her collection of iconic VR headsets.
