Week 2: Augmented Reality
Page last edited by Per Bækgaard (pgba) 19/01-2019

Augmented Reality (which is a part of the wider concept Extended Reality) systems like the Microsoft HoloLens are examples of Mixed Reality: blending the virtual and real worlds. This offers new and exiting opportunities for systems design, but also poses a whole new set of challenges when designing solid User Experiences.

This weeks project will focus on creating systems that work in an extended/augmented reality setting.

Notice: This page will be updated throughout the week with additional information and material.

Learning objectives
  • Identify, model and validate user needs and goals for specific market segments, using an iterative hierarchical process
  • Design and validate MVP UX prototypes building upon established interface paradigms
  • Design and validate MVP UX prototypes for emerging and novel types of interfaces
  • Design methods to rapidly measure and validate such hypothesis, facilitating a data driven decision process
  • Map out user needs, existing alternatives, market segments, unique value propositions and solutions provided by your augmented reality app using a lean business model canvas
  • Create user story maps for your augmented reality app in order to hierarchically model high level goals, activities and tasks as basis for scoping the prototype
  • Prioritize what slices of the user story map tasks you would translate into the wireframes and storyboard that would make up a first teration for your augmented reality app prototype
  • Define how your augmented reality app prototype will enable you to validate whether it solves a user "problem" for a specific market "segment" and to what degree that is reflected in your MVP minimum viable product "solution"
  • Use UX prototyping techniques to communicate with a diverse set of stakeholders
