The hardware uses a LightBlue Bean arduino board to communicate with the mobile app over bluetooth. The housing was lasercut and assembled with adhesive, designed to accomodate the april tag "cube" and hardware components. The smartphone camera detects the perspective/distance/change in distance to determine where the user is with the wand, and sends the coordinates to the mobile app.

An augmented reality, three-dimensional whiteboard that can be seen through a mobile app made in collaboration. I teamed up with three electrical computer engineering students to create a mobile platform that supports AR and three-dimensional drawing all during a 24 hour hackathon hosted by Carnegie Mellon.
