Project Type

• The project is a mobile application developed with the Unity game engine.
• It was created to demonstrate that Eyesoft Bilişim could produce similar location-based gamification applications.

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 end users.
• 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, interactive 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.
• I developed the project independently based on the requirements shared by the company's co-founder.
• I worked on the project during my time at the company between September 2021 and December 2022.
• The project is still in use.

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 stakeholder I worked with was the company's co-founder.

Personal Contributions and Responsibilities

• I was responsible for the entire project during the period I worked on it.
• I handled mobile development, scene flow, backend integration, content download flow, GPS-based interaction, QR code interaction, publishing, and internal development infrastructure.

Deployment Information

• I published the project for both major mobile platforms.
• The application is currently available on Google Play Store and App Store.
