week 2

okay here we go again! This weeks coverage is gonna be:

research / seeing a clearer picture and also

more research on AR methods!

link to week 2.1 where id be talking about artstyles and also storyline plots cause i feel like that deserves its own blog post :v)

So reflecting on my last one on one session with my lecturer Louise, i decided to enhance more of my research so i can see a clearer picture of what i’m doing and also fixing my words document-

so due to that i guess it’d be easier if i draw out 3 personas to help me guide what they wanted and how i can fix their problems with my project:

meet my 3 personas!

My goal for this project is to allow players/ users be immersed into this project so they could reflect themselves or their loved ones better , hence why the attention span is important for this project. Other than being attractive through eyes, i too hope to capture hearts and allow players to feel empathy towards my characters. Those are the few goals that i needed to capture for this project.

Other than that, i had reflected my target objectives, notable parts of the stroyline and tried to carve out convincing points for my learning target/project outcomes.

I have updated all of them in my words document hopefully its alright :v)

Also, other relevancy; for some reason during this pandemic almost 50% of real life couples that i knew broke up due to communication, trust issues and problems so, maybe thats relevant too?

Anyway, on research onto AR softwares--

---------------------other than doing research for my main topic, ---------------------------

ive also done some side discussions with people close to me and has experience making VR/AR/programming , one of them suggested and recommended me on using either Artivive or A frame as they had used that on their previous projects too,

Artivive

-seems easier to use, like Adobe Aero -allows MP4 files rather than slapping the image directly on the app and managing the animations from there

A Frame

-more coding based like unity i guess

After doing more research and finding more videos about hwo the to tools work, i lean more towards on leaning Artivive but i also fear because the app is also not available in our country so itd give a lot of restrictions for other users.

I’ll probably try to play around with it tonight and make an update afterwards!

- Although so,talking about adobe Aero, i tried playing with adobe aero through my friend’s Ipad but it couldn’t map the flooring as well as i thought i seen it done in videos. Not sure if it was my problem or whatnot.

UPDATE:

my experience with Artivive with old artworks and random images that i saved in my laptop :))

youtube

So i guess i cant make it interactive as how i wanted it to go- but if i’d like it to be just still video based i guess that would be my no.1 option because of how easy it actually is to use! All i needed to do was slap an image and put my video and it was done! so surprisingly easy :o - Also, layering another image isn’t possible as duplicates are not allowed on the website so there goes that idea once again. Theres so much that i need to underlay for each AR tools that i’d be using.

i need a table cause theres so much cons and pros for each of the platforms after learning each about them and messing enough with them :( i have also recently signed up for unity AR so i could test on hwo t use them first hand (hence why i would need 5 working days for them to comfirm my student account too lol) but onto the table i have mapped out; will be updated when i learn more information!

UPDATE 22/6 and :

i have just found out about unreal engine has AR components. Ill check it out for week 3 update.

I have also recently manage to download Unity from another friend who has an existing account due to my impatience for waiting for my own but im struggling to understand how it works actually i need to try harder and find more tutorials and seek help :(

Augmented Reality App Developers Could Be A Threat To Your Safety

Augmented reality apps have increased in popularity over the past few years, as both individuals and businesses have been using them for many reasons. Perhaps the biggest is the ability to identify things which people don't want to look at while walking or driving. That's because these apps are able to make the object invisible until the user has the opportunity to "see" it. In fact, they could be a threat to your own safety, if you decide to text while driving or look at your phone while you're at the wheel.

Using augmented reality can also allow businesses to connect with customers through mobile applications that are interactive with data from devices such as digital cameras and cell phones. Consumers will be able to see interactive shopping cards, virtual coupons and shopping baskets and the businesses will be able to collect feedback about the products they sell.

Companies that offer software and consulting services are also benefiting from this trend. Since so many people are in their cars and not on the internet, they may need help navigating through websites. By using the same technology as the company that created the website, there is no chance of the customer seeing the wrong page and then receiving a message about how they left off on the site, not being able to find what they are looking for. Using augmented reality on the web site can make a website that can be navigated easily by cell phone.

Social sites have also been making use of augmented reality as a marketing strategy. Facebook and Twitter have been using it as a way to make their users feel like they are inside the action. They can identify other users who are participating in different activities on the website, get inside the video that is being filmed, and view the banner ads and profile pictures when friends post content. Using these tools, Facebook and Twitter have been able to encourage participation in their online community, thus increasing their reach.

There are also individuals who have discovered how to use the mobile apps to enhance their lives. There are people who want to track their fitness stats without their phone. Using the built-in GPS capabilities of their phones, they can now use the app to set up a workout schedule for themselves.

One thing that these apps have done for small business owners is to improve customer service. Small businesses often complain that they are getting flooded with calls from customers who call for urgent assistance when they're running a little low on cash. In the past, if a customer called to ask a question or need assistance, the store owner would have to run to the back of the store to answer it. But now, they can use the app to talk to the customer face-to-face, without having to worry about anyone cutting in front of him to get to the back.

Many people still use their mobile phones as a device that is better than a computer; but that doesn't mean that the typical person doesn't need to do some work. Even those who are fortunate enough to be using an iPhone can benefit from using an app that can help them.

There are many of these types of apps available and app developers are in the process of creating thousands more. When you think about all the things that can be done with an augmented reality app, it really doesn't seem like such a bad idea. With so many more people using their smartphones than ever before, augmented reality app developers are just beginning to take advantage of this new technology.
