Project description:
"Mobile AR Survey & Decor App

Objective

Develop a cross-platform mobile application (iOS + Android) that enables users to:
• Conduct on-site surveys of construction/decor projects using their phone’s camera.
• Import AutoCAD (DWG/DXF), PDF, or IFC files and align them with the real environment.
• Overlay 3D/2D plans in augmented reality (AR) for visualization.
• Capture measurements, annotations, and reports directly on site.

Core Features

1. File Import & Conversion
• Support import of DWG, DXF, IFC, and PDF floorplans/models.
• Convert models into mobile-friendly 3D (glTF/GLB) format for AR rendering.
• Store and manage files locally and via backend/cloud sync.

2. Augmented Reality (AR) Survey
• Use ARKit (iOS) and ARCore (Android) for real-world mapping.
• Allow users to place and align 2D/3D plans onto real environments.
• Support marker-based alignment (AprilTags/QR codes) and manual calibration.
• Provide measurement tools: distance, area, height (raycast/plane detection).

3. Annotation & Decor Placement
• Allow users to add notes, markers, and symbols (e.g., camera icons, furniture).
• Enable furniture/decor placement in AR (e.g., walls, fixtures, CCTV field-of-view cones).
• Provide an asset library (basic objects/icons) with option to upload custom assets.

4. Reporting & Export
• Capture annotated AR views as screenshots.
• Export survey reports (PDF/Excel) containing:
• Measurements, notes, and overlays.
• Project metadata (client name, location, date).

5. Project Management
• Organize work by projects (multiple sites per user).
• Sync with backend for cloud storage & collaboration.
• User login/authentication (basic email + password or SSO).

⸻

Technical Requirements
• Frontend: Flutter or React Native.
• AR Integration: ar_flutter_plugin (ARKit + ARCore), SceneKit/Filament/Unity optional.
• CAD/IFC Handling: IfcOpenShell, libdxfrw, [login to view URL], or equivalent.
• Backend: Node.js/Python + cloud storage (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Database: PostgreSQL or Firebase.
• Export: Report generation in PDF format.

⸻

Deliverables
1. Mobile App (iOS + Android) – MVP with AR overlay, measurement, and PDF export.
2. Backend & API – File upload, conversion, and project storage.
3. Documentation – Source code, setup guide, and user manual.
4. Testing & QA – Functional testing for accuracy of measurement and AR alignment.

⸻

Optional (Phase 2 Enhancements)
• 3D scanning / photogrammetry integration (COLMAP/OpenMVG).
• Voice notes and collaborative real-time annotations.
• Integration with BIM platforms (Autodesk, Revit).
• Advanced decor libraries with textures/colors.

⸻

Expected Skills
• Strong experience with Flutter/React Native + ARKit/ARCore.
• Knowledge of CAD/IFC/PDF parsing and 3D rendering.
• Experience with construction/engineering visualization tools is a plus.
• Backend development for file processing and storage.

would you like me to also prepare a smaller MVP scope (just PDF/DXF overlay + AR measurement + report) so you can test" (client-provided description)
