I’m seeking project ideas for my undergraduate project that could potentially evolve into a SaaS product in the future. One concept I’ve considered is an app where users can upload pictures of shoes they find online (from platforms like Amazon or Nike) and generate a 3D model to try on in AR. However, existing foot tracking and image-to-3D model technologies aren’t sufficiently accurate or seamless for this idea. Additionally, as an undergraduate student, I lack the computing resources and expertise to develop these models from scratch. Can you suggest similar or intriguing project ideas that I could explore instead?

I’ve previously developed a shoe try-on system; the technology is decent, but it costs money. Wanna is the name of the business: https://wanna.fashion
You won’t get close to photorealistic results when converting images to 3D, but some decent models have been shown to me. The main problem you’ll encounter is the model’s duration. Depending on hardware, it typically takes more than 20 seconds. By then, most users will have moved on. It might be more effective to simply paint a texture on the identified foot area using the foot tracking alone. You might be able to obtain enough speed to make it work if you just pull the texture from the one shot 3d bit and eliminate the geometry. Good luck.
Look for open-source projects or APIs that are already out there that you can use with your project idea.
Pay attention to a clear and specific issue within a bigger area, like personalized learning in education.
Think about whether you can finish the project in the time you have left for your college studies.
Consider developing a platform that utilizes augmented reality (AR) for virtual interior design, allowing users to upload photos of their rooms and experiment with different furniture and decor items in real-time. This project could involve implementing algorithms for object recognition, room layout optimization, and realistic rendering to create a seamless and immersive user experience. By focusing on AR technology and interior design, you can tap into a growing market and address a common need for homeowners and renters looking to visualize and customize their living spaces. Additionally, integrating features such as product recommendations, room measurement tools, and social sharing capabilities could enhance the platform’s functionality and appeal to users.
