Globe Data AR is the beginning of a data visualization AR model that allows users to identify and learn about data based on latitude and longitude. When a user touches a part of the globe they see data specific to that location.

This project arose out of a COVID-19 themed hackathon that took place late March 2020. It was meant to visualize the current confirmed cases of the virus based on country. Augmented Reality allows users to make use of 3D space and their surroundings, and I wanted to create an app that did that.
