MinaretRoutes
An AR-powered motorbike delivery network for baby essentials in hot-climate cities, where historic minarets serve as micro-warehouse hubs and thermal mirage-mapping technology finds the coolest routes for heat-sensitive items like formula and medicine. Parents order via app, drivers navigate shade-optimized paths, and deliveries arrive in temperature-controlled smart boxes.
