with augmented reality
for Grott Brewery Bar







The Grott Brewery Bar opened in Yekaterinburg in the spring of 2016 and positions itself as a Scandinavian brewery with the proper food. The guys make sure their food tastes amazing and do their best to surprise the guests and make their stay in the restaurant even more interesting and comfortable.
To create a mobile app that would make Grott Bar stand out from the other restaurants and create a "wow" effect.
We decided to add some magic so that the guests would study the menu and the variety of beer in full detail before the waiter arrives. And all this with the help of the app with AR, of course!





We’ve been a fan of augmented reality for a long time – we’ve developed several apps with AR and AR-posters. So we picked this technology again to show the main menu items as accurately as possible.

Для привязки дополненной реальности нужен хороший 
объект-маркер.
In order for the magic of augmented reality to work, the phone camera needs to recognise the marker object – a beer coaster that is always presented on every table. When you look at it, there are four different types of beer appear on one side of it, and the main dishes – on the other one.

и еду мы сделали 
по разным технологиям.
We made a 3D beer – drew a model, and then added some texture and lighting. To make the beer look realistic, we photographed a dozen of glasses from different sides. All sorts of beer from the menu can be seen at any angle.
In order for the food to look appetising, we went from standard 3D graphics to the technique which is closer to a photo shoot. We took photos of the dishes on a turntable – 74 frames per circle – and glued images into one. This approach provides a more detailed picture than expensive and time-consuming 3D.
Menu
The menu in the app is integrated with the website so that all the content is loaded from there.


Restaurant's new
We made a convenient admin area so that the owners of the restaurant could easily publish all the news and updates themselves.
