An interview with the Augmented Reality App team of ACM Projects.

Meet the Team

Nathalie Meremikwu, Sthitadhi Sengupta, Erik Omogbehin, and Rassaan Alam are the members of ACM Project’s Augmented Reality team. I, Onyeka Agwuegbo, am their mentor through this process. I sat down with the team last build night to ask them a few questions.

Why did you decide to join ACM Projects?

Nathalie: I was seeking project experience in order to bolster my resume. I figured that ACM would be the perfect avenue to do that. The ability to work on a complex application with a team is a very marketable skill.

Erik: I was getting a hamburger at The Pub and saw an ACM flyer advertising a chance to work on an Augmented Reality Project. I thought it sounded like a really fun challenge which is why I applied.

What’s been your biggest challenge so far?

Rassaan: Getting familiar with Unity has been the toughest part for me. Unity’s UX isn’t immediately intuitive so it took me a while to figure it out. But after getting the basics down, the rest was relatively easy.

Sid: FIguring out how to keep information locked after the camera recognizes an image target. It’s important to keep in mind the Readability of the software. I realized I could create a c# script to keep the text in place.

What excites you most about your project?

Erik: Augmented Reality is super cool. Just seeing an image projected onto the real world never gets old for me.

Nathalie: I’m always excited to learn something new. And having an entire team of people working towards a specific goal is very motivating for me.

What’s your favorite movie?

Erik: Bladerunner 2049

Nathalie: Memento

Rassan: The Godfather

Sthitadhi: Interstellar
