Description
A mobile application that uses Augmented Reality (AR) and geolocation to promote the local products of La Union by enhancing product visibility, supporting local producers, and boosting agri-tourism.
Problem
Local producers in La Union face challenges in product visibility, market accessibility, and tourist engagement. Despite a rich inventory of cultural and agricultural goods, there is no centralized digital tool to promote them interactively.
Process
We followed a Design Thinking approach supported by Scrum to iteratively build and test the product, using surveys and direct feedback from local stakeholders.
- Conducted SUS-based surveys, interviews, and field observations with local producers and residents.
- Defined pain points and key requirements based on user insights.
- Designed interactive wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes.
- Built the app using React Native CLI, ViroReact (for AR), and Mapbox (for geolocation).
- Implemented Supabase for backend storage and Rasa for chatbot integration.
- Tested usability, collected feedback, and iterated using Scrum methodology.
Solution
An AR-powered mobile app that enables users to explore 3D models of local products, locate nearby producers via geolocation, and interact with a chatbot to learn more. The platform increases engagement with local goods and promotes physical store visits.
Key Insights
The app received an SUS score of 86/100 (rated 'Excellent'), reflecting high usability and impact. Positive feedback from producers and tourists showed the potential of AR and geolocation in bridging market gaps while preserving culture. The app also fosters economic sustainability and local pride.
