Abstract
This project started from an initial idea to use augmented reality for a new innovative restaurant menu, with the aim of validating and building this idea as a startup. An exploration of the augmented reality market and the 3D scanning market was done to establish the technical feasibilities needed to realise this idea. Further, a deep understanding of restaurant visitors and restaurant owners was gained through interviews and user testing.
For the project a 3D scanner was developed, that automates the photography of a food item so that it can be processed into a 3D model. In addition to that, a menu app was prototyped, where these 3D models could be viewed in augmented reality.
