gatAR is an Augmented Reality application that is working to help students make more health conscious decisions at on campus vending machines.

We were challenged at the beginning of the semester to bring awareness and education to students about type1/type 2 diabetes. Our application allows students with diabetes to make the best choice at a vending machine when experiencing either a spike or dip in blood sugar.

gatAR utilizes Vuforia's AR camera when scanning targets in the vending machine and generates a pop-up in real time that will educate the user about the item they are looking at, and get them to make a better snack choice to promote a healthier lifestyle.
