Prototyping for Augmented Reality

How do you prototype when designing for augmented reality (AR)? This was an important question our team grappled with while ideating solutions to tackle sleep problems in families. We had been working on user research and studying the problem space of family sleep for a…

10.02 Early Video Prototypes

We used video prototypes (edited in AfterEffects and Premiere) to explore some of our early ideas of how physical interactions might reveal different pieces of data in augmented reality.

09.07 “How Might We” Questions and Design Principles

Our group spent some time today going over the work we brought for the meeting (scenarios and visualizations of the problem space). We discussed ways to approach and frame the problem to make it a little more digestible. We decided last…

09.07 Scenarios

To begin ideation, we narrowed down to a more specific case within family sleep solutions: families with children who are sick. On our own, we came up with a few ideas of how our system could support these families. I drew scenario storyboards with a few written comments of goals or principles…

10.05 Scenario Refinement, UI Flow Development

In our seminar class, we talked about values in design and what implications our envisioned ecosystem might have. We talked about privacy issues–who would be able to see and alter the information? Where is it stored? How many times would you have…

10.12 Video Storyboard, Stills

After we came up with the scenarios on Monday, I took still photographs to create a storyboard of what they might look like in a video. Using this to guide us when we make our final video could help us choose camera angles that make the most sense for the editing we’d like…

Visual Design & UI

arrange

Working closely with Irene, we developed the user interface over the course of a week. Discussing and fine tuning some of the interactions. While this is something we hope to fine tune in future iterations, the version we have developed showcases the mobile…
