The main problem that sparked this idea, was the fact that most resumes are not entirely communicative of the achievements of an individual. If there could be a way to help make resumes more visual and interactive, instead of being standard black-and-white templates, a reviewer could most likely find out much more about the applicant, particularly if the job is related to a creative field.
The first step towards using this particular resume, involves the installation of an app known as "Aurasma". This app is freely available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
Once the app has been installed and opened, it accesses the phone camera to scan pages that have been embedded with augmented material.
In this particular case, since the augmented material was developed using the free version of Aurasma, users will need to follow my profile before being able to view any content. This can be achieved by searching for "rohitbhat87" within the app, and then following my profile.
Once this has been done, the pages below can be scanned, to view the embedded content within them.

Tap on the buttons as they appear to interact with them.
Page 2:
Scan each individual badge, to view content.

The Augmented Reality Resume
This project was developed with the aim to make the entire resume-reviewing experience much more interactive and fun.
With the help of a free app known as "Aurasma", images, videos, and links to websites can be superimposed onto each page of a resume, which can then be viewed when the pages are scanned through the app.
