Team Ice Queens : Brainstorming Session II

We met again this weekend to discuss our ideas further.

We first talked about what our design does — the ecosystem, service it provides, and technology used, etc.

The ecosystem would be composed of a mobile/desktop application that behaves differently when accessed remotely versus accessed on-site, and poles that represent plants in the winter days at the garden which will also be used as markers for the virtual plants and AR UI’s.

Then we started discussing the experience from user’s perspective. We made a flow diagram that lists the important moments when the user interacts with the system or garden.

We started discussing creative ways users can interact with the virtual plant. One of the ideas was using gesture for harvesting crops. We also thought about using the phone itself to mimic the act of watering and fertilizing.
