Our Journey
Week 1: Project Selection
The team met for the first time and had a brainstorming session to decide which project we would be working on for the rest of the quarter. After much discussion, we decided on pursuing an AR Networking Application. This week all team members worked on exploring the feasibility of the project. Nour, Kevin, and Mariya researched AR QR-Code Tracking tools while Zage investigated LinkedIn profile parsing.

Week 2: Project Pitch and Project Requirements Document (PRD)
The week we presented our project pitch for our AR Networking Identification project. We recieved many questions and feedback that allowed us to reflect on our project and enhance its design. Our design is outlined in our project requirments document. Through completing this document we finalized our MVP and split up into two sub-teams: Kevin and Nour began working on QR-Code Tracking and Mariya and Zage began outlining and constructing a basic visual profile.

Week 3: Implementing QR-Code Tracking & Visual Profile
This week the team set up our github repo with an MRTK Unity project. Mariya and Zage used the MRTK Figma Bridge for Unity to begin designing a hard-coded visual profile. Kevin and Nour researched further the feasibility and limits of QR-Code Tracking. After much experimentation, they began implementing QR-Code tracking for our project. Per our PRD, the team is on-track.
New features implemented:
- Began implementing QR-code tracking
- Began creating a hard-coded visual profile

Zage Strassberg-Phillips
Hello! I am a senior studying Computer Engineering at the UW, and am starting the BS/MS program this spring. I am very intrigued by the applications of AR and how it can enhance the world around us. In my free time I enjoy ballroom dancing and acrylic painting.
Nour Ayad
Hi, I'm a BS/MS student studying Computer Science at the UW. Seeing the Minecraft Earth AR demo in 2019 was the first AR project I saw that really interested me. Outside of class, I help run an indoor hydroponics farm on campus, and love playing a wide variety of video games.
Mariya Haveliwala
Hi! I am a senior studying neuroscience and computer science here at the UW. I am super interested by utilizing technology to create connections and provide solutions especially in conjunction with the medical sciences! We are just at the tip of the iceberg for he applications of AR and VR, and am super excited to be exploring it further. In my freetime, I love to bake, hike and paint!
Kevin Farhat
Hey! I'm a senior studying Computer Science at the UW. I see AR making a breakthrough in the near future and I'm hoping to learn a lot about the space through our project. Outside the classroom, I love to watch and play soccer and listen to hip-hop and house music.
