While receiving a greeting card is nice, to celebrate any occasion any time and has a nice personal touch to it, they can be time-consuming to write if you need to write in bulk, and some may not know what to write. And for all these cases, they all require paper, resulting in trees being chopped down for manufactoring purposes. While you may not think a greeting card will take up that much of a tree, you need to remember that these are massed produced, so in fact they will take up a lot of a tree collectively, which means they will contribute to the environmental issue.
Moreover, while there are many different kinds of greeting cards, the ones you may find in your local shop may not suit your taste, and looking for one that does may result in you paying extra as you order one online.
So with that in mind, So we decided to create an app that will allow users to send greeting messages across the globe, using the power of the internet. But with the added twist being that all the greeting messages will be in AR, so it can be projected onto any surface in any room in any household to give some resemblance of recieving a real life card. All while being free and allowing for user customisation.
In order to understand the requirements of the client better, we attended an online meeting with our clients at the beginning of our project. where the client explained a bit more about the background for this project and then laid out the requirements he expected from this project.
Utilise AR technology in order to project the greeting message in real life.
Allow the users to customise their own messages, including their own 3d models, in order to upload to the app, and send to others, or allow others to use for themselves.
Make sure that every platform can view it, so we need to make sure it can be sent via a link that everyone can access.
Able to manage content, allowing multiple contributors to create, edit and publish.
After determining our project goals, we decided to conduct an interview in order to gauge a better understanding as to why someone would write a greeting card and determine the best course of action.

No I do not have that much experience with it, outside of seeing my son play that Pokemon game on his phone (Pokemon Go), though it does seem like a neat thing.
On the one hand, it does feel nice when u receive something physical from someone, as you can cherish it with your own hands, but on the other hand, I think it’s more so about the meaning and less so about the materialistic aspect.
We also conducted a questionnaire, to gain an understanding at how people would use a greeting card, what they would like to see from the app, and whether a digital card takes away from the meaning behind a greeting card.
After the questionnaire was done we found out
