Introduction
In order to use this project you need to make sure you have Unity downloaded(on a windows PC). You can download this on the Github repository that is listed below. To use the project you need to have the 2 cubes that is represented in Unity, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W9w5jWkI0JtdLnd9vcYgtf_mpBJB6ATe/view?usp=sharing, you can download then extract the folder and then print and cut and glue them as intended to make the cube. To make the objects on Unity to appear all you have to do is show the webcam, on the pc, the 2 cubes that you cut and glued together to see the creation of both the Knickknacks. If you turn the cube left and right you will see the name of attraction, the weather of the location(one in Fahrenheit and the other in Celsius), and finally the current time of the location(in am/pm and 24 hour).

What my Models mean
Going over my room. Most of these models are stuff that means a lot to me and stuff that describes who I am and stuff I have had growing up and that is in my room. The desk and pc that are on top of the knickknack are represented in my room as I mostly use my desk to keep notes, lots of my cartridges for my video games, and a lot of old memories such as old video game consoles and elementary school memories. The pc is there as this is what I used to get through the covid semester and all the video games I play on it. The Nintendo switch is what I usually play in my room, beside the PC, and means a lot as some of my favorite video games are on there. The TV in the room is what I use everyday to watch my favorite sports and tv shows and to play my switch off of. And finally the dice this is something I had growing up and I treasure because when I first started learning to program I would use this to help teach me about random number generator function when I was in cs 141 and 251. Finally the audio is from the Zelda game series, when Link gets a new key item. I used this as the sound as I am mostly playing Zelda games. These items play a big part to who I am and where I come from.
My second model is my parents restaurant. The Naan model is a common bread that is used to eat Indian dishes. The table is set up as a dining table that is at the restaurant. The Pan and the stove are common to see at restaurant are needed in order to cook and needed material to make a restaurant. And finally the human can be represented as a customer or the chef as both are needed for a restaurant to succeed. The music is in Zelda game when Link picks up rupees as this is the currency to India that is also used in the video game.

AR in the future
As we progress forward in our everyday life technology will always be advancing. And I do believe that AR will grow in the future just like most of civilization and technology these past decades. We have gone from seeing only black and white on tv screens to getting color, we went from radio calls to have broadcast, etc. We have always found a way to advance technology and make it grow as today we are always finding ways to create an interesting future.
One case where enhanced AR can be better than having physical objects are at galleries, furniture stores, and restaurants. Places like art galleries, furniture stores, and restaurants can use an app like this or having glasses for these to give a viewer a real-life experience of what they are selling and giving a real-life feature with their food, furniture, or paintings. They can use the application to give an appealing look and a more in real life experience looking at what they offer and be used to show people experience. Such as at a restaurant you can see people reaction to the food, or picture coming to real life, and furniture showing how their furniture is used and what it offers with people sitting on and playing video games.
Another case is entertainment uses such as movies, video games, trailers, and tv shows can use this application. I think in the video games a lot of the scenes could use AR application such as Zelda breath of the wild, when Link gets hurt trying to save Zelda having a AR play on top would be cool or like in Pokémon when you try to catch the Pokémon you can use the top to see you catching the Pokémon. For stuff like movies for example Star Wars since their galaxy is huge, they can use AR to represent their galaxy and their location when they are on the spaceship to people who are at the movie theater. A really cool feature could be when watching trailers to give live feedback/comments from people opinion on the trailer while people are watching the trailer so every time a message is sent the message would pop up for the viewer to see. Finally, Tv shows could do something cool with AR, before the show errors they could have an app that allows the user to see what goes on a scene on their phone be played out of the screen. This is a lot better for Tv shows compared to movies as movies last hours and it can be hard to get a meaning of a scene that is bigger compared to tv shows that are usually 20 minutes and small scenes.
Overall, AR will grow in the future and be something that will be apart of our everyday life. And AR can be applied to our everyday life and can change the future to make a interesting world.
