About the Project

Transforming dog handler training through augmented reality technology

Project Overview

KyNova AR-Simulator is a comprehensive mobile application designed to revolutionize dog handler training through augmented reality technology. Our system provides realistic, interactive training scenarios that prepare handlers for real-world situations without the need for physical equipment or live animals during practice sessions.

The Problem

Traditional dog handler training faces several challenges: limited training opportunities, high costs for equipment and facilities, safety concerns during training, and inconsistent training quality. Our AR solution addresses these challenges by providing accessible, safe, and cost-effective training that can be performed anytime, anywhere.

Our Solution

Using Flutter and Unity AR Foundation, we've created an immersive training platform that simulates real dog training scenarios. The system tracks performance metrics, provides instant feedback, and gamifies the learning experience through achievements, XP points, and a global leaderboard.
