Inspiration
We got inspiration from the Detour app that does a similar thing sans AR and is supposed to be done on foot.
What it does
OUaT supplements a train journey with information and stories about the surrounding places on your train journey.
How we built it
We track the location of the train by geo-fencing key network rail timing point locations (the data provided for the hackathon).
Challenges we ran into
A key technological challenge was locating the train in real time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Not losing our minds, staying focused on the final product.
What we learned
Android app development, AR, how to hack without a reliable internet connection
What's next for Once Upon A Train
Next is probably content development and user testing to find out what sort of stories customers enjoy. Future plans include translations and cater to different audience sub-segments (kids, rails enthusiasts, ...)
