Hikey
Summer 2021 (1 week)
During the summer of my junior high school, I was awarded a scholarship to participate in a design start-up competition. During one intensive week of lectures and workshops, my team and I developed an Augmented Reality and animation-based mobile game start-up to raise environmental awareness around Hungary’s national parks. We ended up winning the pitch competition, and as a result, we moved to the second round and pitched the mobile game application to 10,000+ people at an international sustainability expo.
Hikey is an AR-based mobile game application that promotes hiking and exploring Hungarian national parks and green areas among the youth. The app includes informational animations and games and works similarly to Pokemon Go’s structure. Hikey has different, personalized hiking routes in the national parks that can be completed by going through each stations in the game journey.
