Campus Hunt

Project Type

• The project is a mobile application developed with the Unity game engine.
• It was produced for campus orientation events organized by Middle East Technical University in collaboration with AdımODTÜ for two semesters: 2022-2023 Fall and Spring.

Architecture / System Design

• The architecture can be described with three layers: the mobile application, Loktos Mobile, and the database.
• The first layer is this Unity mobile application used by new students during the event.
• The second layer is the Loktos Mobile API, which provides the backend services required by the application.
• The third layer is the database consumed through the backend services.
• Because the project is game-oriented, each Unity scene represents a different application screen or flow.
• The first scene checks hardware and connectivity requirements such as GPS availability and internet access.
• Another flow downloads the required 3D content before the user accesses membership and login screens.
• After authentication, the map and related 3D objects are created for the user.
• The project follows an organized folder hierarchy and uses the Singleton Pattern where needed.

Technologies Used

• Mobile development: C#, Unity, .NET Standard 2.1
• Map and location: OpenStreetMap, GPS
• Backend integration: Loktos Mobile API
• Interaction and content: QR Code, 3D objects, text, video, and quiz content
• Asset preparation: Audacity, 3ds Max 2021, GIMP
• Version control and publishing: Git, GitHub

Key Technical Details and Modules

• Integrated the mobile application with the Loktos Mobile API service.
• Added multi-language support.
• Implemented secure authentication flow.
• Used references of 3D objects for better performance.
• Enabled object interaction through QR code scanning as an alternative flow.
• Used OpenStreetMap for the map infrastructure.

Participation and Timeline

• The project was developed for Eyesoft Bilişim and used in METU orientation events.
• I developed the project independently based on the requirements shared through the company's co-founder and METU stakeholders.
• I worked on the project between September 2021 and December 2022 during my time at the company.

Project Management / Team Structure

• We did not use a Jira-like project management tool for this project.
• I installed GitLab CE on the company's server and moved the project repository there for version control.
• I also set up Slack for communication and integrated it with the GitLab repository.
• The main stakeholders I worked with were the company's co-founder and METU representatives.

Personal Contributions and Responsibilities

• The two-dimensional and three-dimensional assets used during development were provided by METU.
• I integrated these assets into the mobile application and completed the application development.
• After testing, the application was delivered to METU.
• I documented the required steps for store publishing and transferred the instructions to the relevant people.

Deployment Information

• The project was published under METU's official store accounts.
• The application is no longer available on the App Store.
• On Google Play, it can only be accessed through the related direct listing address.
