This web app was developed by three UBC students Matthew, Denis and Patience during the fall session of Dubhacks 2015. It was nominated one of the top 5 hacks overall! You can read more about the project here.
This is our keeping-up-with-the-times take on the traditional scavenger hunt. The objective is to find the objects suggested by the game, before your competitors beat you to it! Your score will be updated in real time on the board.
We built this app with Firebase to power our backend and do a live update of the players' scores. For object detection we used Clarifai's image recognition/machine learning API. The imgur API is used to upload images and send them to Clarifai. Webcam.js was used to control a player's camera.
- Acquire API keys for Clarifai and Imgur. Create a Firebase account.
- Install firebase-tools:
npm install -g firebase-tools - Duplicate
configuration-template.jsin/jsand rename itconfiguration.js. Fill in the API keys and base URL for your firebase repo as necessary. - In the terminal, run
firebase deployto deploy the app to Firebase
