Exploring in Augmented Reality
In 2020, I collaborated with a Berlin-based AR startup, Xibit, while working on my master thesis about AR storytelling. During that time, my task was to conceptualize and create a virtual shopping experience within Magic Leap.
Rapid iteration
We started with a workshop to ideate the prototype based on an existing AR product from Xibit. The goal was to improve and explore various small AR scenes in a virtual shopping situation and conduct user testing to improve the experience. After selecting four different scenes, we quickly built the Magic Leap prototypes using Unity and Lumion SDK. I conducted user tests and interviews to improve the prototypes.
The improved scenes was then built together for prototype showcasing. During this project, I have designed the UI concept, worked 3D assets, and implemented them in Magic Leap exploring with hand tracking technology. The result was fun and successful. During the process, I quickly improved my skills in Unity and C#, as well as Blender 3D modeling and different shading techniques.
