A Resume Generator with Augmented Reality Features

Abstract

A resume is an essential tool for job seekers when it comes to job hunting. This paper is intended to develop a web-based resume generator alongside with augmented reality features, known as AResume. The web-based application is built for job applicants who have difficulty in creating a professional resume from scratch, as well as trying to attempt the 'one-size-fits-all' approach. AR.js and A-Frame are the main libraries or web AR frameworks employed in the development of AResume to enrich the experience of augmented reality. A web-based AR is developed over mobile AR because of its lightweight, cross-platform support and no installation required. A generated resume is embedded with a QR code and AR markers. The QR code could be scanned using a smartphone to direct users to the AR scanner website. Users are able to move the scanner from marker to marker to view different contents such as videos, photos, and documents. AResume not only enables job applicants to create a resume with augmented features but also provides a better user experience for hiring managers when reviewing resumes.
