Augmented Reality Tattoo App
CASE: TECHNOLOGIES: Unity, Vuforia, Adobe Media Encoder CUSTOMER: Tatt.on.me is a brand that offers temporary tattoos for various fun occasions. These tattoos use safe, non-toxic eco ink, making them suitable for children. CHALLENGE: When the client approached us, they already had a functioning application that animated the tattoos. However, it needed optimization, and its performance and scalability required improvement. Their previous supplier could no longer assist. For us, this presented a difficult challenge since continuing someone else’s work is often more complicated than starting from scratch. Nonetheless, after conducting a code audit, we found the task manageable, which led to the beginning of our collaboration. EXPECTED RESULTS: The goal was to optimize the app's performance so that it would run faster, while also reducing asset sizes to enable more content availability. Additionally, we aimed to significantly improve the functionality for capturing and displaying animals in augmented reality (AR). USER FUNCTIONALITY: With the updates made by Skywell Software, viewing tattoos in AR became much simpler. The app could now function even if the tattoo was difficult to see, thanks to a manual viewing option. When users pointed their smartphone camera at a tattoo, the app would download all the necessary elements to bring it to life. It also gained the capability to record the process, save it, and share the video with friends. SOLUTION: The solution developed by Skywell Software provided a major improvement in linking AR content to the tattoos. Furthermore, we optimized the application's size to enhance user-friendliness and compatibility with more devices, significantly streamlining and improving the development process.
