Online shopping has become increasingly popular, but purchasing large items "remotely" can be worrisome due to concerns about incorrect dimensions, rendering the goods useless. Chan Man Him, a graduate of the Artificial Intelligence and Mobile Software Development Higher Diploma program at the Institute of Vocational Education (IVE) in Hong Kong, along with his classmates, has developed a groundbreaking live streaming app that incorporates Augmented Reality (AR) technology. This app allows products to be displayed in the same proportions as physical objects in the user's location. The app has recently won awards in various innovation and technology competitions. The Vocational Training Council (VTC) has also announced the launch of 140 courses with 13,000 available slots for the upcoming academic year. Online registration will begin on Thursday, and for the first time, conditional acceptance notifications will be issued by the end of March next year, providing reassurance for students preparing for exams.
Chan Man Him and three classmates collaborated on their graduation project last year, resulting in the development of a live streaming application called "All-in-One Streaming Platform." This app offers features such as 360-degree scanning of products and transforming them into 3D models using AR technology. Merchants can scan their products in 360 degrees in advance, while viewers can download the corresponding 3D models and use their smartphone cameras to display the products in AR, simulating a one-to-one placement in their surroundings. According to Chan, this functionality helps viewers gain a better understanding of the actual size and proportions of the products, providing a more confident shopping experience. The app also includes gesture control and picture-in-picture features, enhancing the live streaming experience. It will represent Hong Kong in an innovation and technology competition held in Pakistan in December and aims to be released in the market in the future.
