Filmpark: augmented reality app
MY ROLEProject lead, software architect, app developer, designer and trainer
As project lead, software architect, app developer, designer and trainer, I led implementation of the mobile AR, navigation and attractions app for Filmpark Babelsberg, from architecture through app and backend development to testing and deployment.
The park needed an app to support navigation and day planning while providing an additional digital attraction. I agreed requirements and design with the client, created a Unity mockup and an Android test build, and used these as the basis for developing the architecture and features.
I designed the app, set up an Ubuntu server and implemented MongoDB storage together with core and networking modules. A custom WordPress plugin provided the administration interface for editorial content. Server modules supplied events and audio guides to the app. AR features, security protocols and encryption completed the solution.
Alongside hands-on development, I coordinated with the client and onboarded additional AR developers. Code validation, product testing, documentation and coordinated delivery for iOS and Android formed part of completing implementation.
Result: Connected AR, audio and event features to the backend and content management, and supported delivery for iOS and Android.
