1. Identification and clarification of the problem
2. Identification of the purpose and audiencea. establishing who the target audience is (user personas)
Personas are fictional characters created to represent users or audiences who might interact with a site, product or brand in a different way. They are characters with a clearly defined purpose and characteristics that will influence the journey they’d take through a website or the conte nt that will capture their attention and service their needs. Their purpose is to support story-telling, build user understanding and evolve designs. Their characters can be brought to life through exploration and collaborative discussion of the journeys they could take through your website, using narrative to explore whi ch features they’d adopt and the

exploration and collaborative discussion of the journeys they could take through your website, using narrative to explore whi ch features they’d adopt and the various pain-points or frustrations that they may encounter.
Figure 1: A basic persona template for rich detail about user characteristics
A carefully designed persona will help you to perceive design problems from someone else’s perspective rather than your own. Your personas should focus on why and how people come to interact with your site. You need to be able to conceptualise the end goal that a persona wants to fulfil in interacting with your website or product innovation.
Using a combination of the two examples above, create a user Persona for your AR experience
b. research similar solutions that may appeal to users. Why appealing? Why viable? How will yours be better or different?c. what will the user interface/user experience be like? How could this affect the way people use your solution?d. what learnability and effectiveness features will it have?
Effectiveness of a user interface relates to how well it does what it needs to do. Users need to be able to interact with a d igital solution quickly and easily, and outputs need to be presented clearly in a way that can be easily interpreted by the user. An effective user interface allows users to complete their interactions accurately and efficiently without requiring a detailed understanding of the underlying complexity of the system. It takes less time and user effort to learn how to use a digital solution effectively if an interface is learnable. A very le arnable interface is said to be intuitive, because the user can immediately grasp how to interact with it. Learnability includes how quickly and easily users can learn to find information, complete tasks and navigate the digital solution. The design of a user interface, in both layout and content, is critical for learnability a nd CARP offers a set of aesthetic visual design principles that will improve the learnability and effectiveness of a user interface.

EG
- inputs
The inputs for this project were the Metaverse app, which was developed on a Windows PC. This worked well, with no significant issues.
The other inputs for the project was the content that I received from Mr Dean. These questions and answers were not too many and this meant I was able to complete the breakout game.
- process
My knowlede of the Metaverse was very basic to begin with. As I created the game, my knowledge and skills increased and I was able incorporate more technical features.
The process of storyboarding the game was the most difficult as it was more effective to decide what options would appear within the actual metaverse app.
- products
I tested the final app on the target class and they found it most enjoyable and reported that they
M2 Virtual and Augmented Reality Page 12
I tested the final app on the target class and they found it most enjoyable and reported that they learned more for the AR experience than from classwork.
The app operated on a both android and iphones. When the network signal was strong there were no significant issues. However, the app did not operate as expected with a poor signal.
The app is pretty close to the concept that I proposed to Mr Dean. However, as I developed and tested it, some features were changed for the better.
- make recommendations
The only recommendation I would make for future experiences is the ability to use my own AR graphics so that they more closely match the topic of the questions.

Phase 1:Problem identification
restate the problem in your own words.a.
The problem is to design, develop and create an Augmented Reality (AR) game for the Digital Technologies curriculum area.
identify fundamental cause of a problem or to represent related elements of a problem that need to be jointly addressed in the digital solution
b.
Students in Digital Technologies are not very motivated to learn knowledge facts; and there are a lot! They have trouble recalling even basic things. A more engaging learning experience is needed.
what is required in the solution. Why?c.
- must be fun and engaging- reinforce curriculum knowledge- curriculum content for DT- must operate on a range of portable devices
what are the mandatory constraints?d.
- must use curriculum content gained from a teacher in Digital Technologies- must be based on the teachers' target class and unit.
what will be produced as a solution?e.
- a metaverse AR experience
how will it be used?f.
- via mobile phone or tablet
What are the needs and purposes of the Client (Teacher)g.
Mr Dean needs an AR game for network typologies. Eg types of networks, network protocols

b. research similar solutions that may appeal to users. Why appealing? Why viable? How will yours be better or different?
Teacher-Created AR ExperiencesMetaverse maintains a public spreadsheet, which tracks new AR content across subjects and grade levels. Some favorites:
Help the Mountain Lion Find His Home — 6th grade math•
Just has a list of questions and multiple choice answers. Not really a breakout game as you don’t need a key to unlock anything. Also does not require movement within the classroom.
Survive the American Revolution — 7th grade•
Same as above
The Atticus Finch Challenge — 8th grade•
This one gives you a letter for every question you get correct and all the letters form the secret word to unlock the puzzle. Still does not require movement.
What a Newton! — 8th grade•
Requires typed response
Space Station Steve Missed Watergate — 9th Grade•
Just qus and answers
Curse of the Pharaoh — 9th grade•
Good game with secret words and puzzles. Questions are too difficult. Location is not required.
> this requires you to find questions within the room. If this was used, then questions would need to be located in geographic locations as part of the solution.
My solution would include the need to find questions within the room, thus justifying an AR experience.
c. what will the user interface/user experience be like? How could this affect the way people use your solution?
The user will use the metaverse app to scan the supplied QR code and will enter the AR experience. They will then be presented with a floating avatar that will give them instruction in a speech bubble. They can then respond to questions and instructions by tapping buttons on the screen. They will also need to walk to different geographic locations to find clues and questions.
d. what learnability and effectiveness features will it have?The user interface design will use proximity design principles, so that the question and how to answer is very obvious. The Question will be aligned vertically with the possible answers. There will be a colour contrast between the text and the images, so that it stands out. Each screen will repeat the same design layout for consistency and predictability. There will be only one kind of text font used.This way, the system will be learnable because the user can immediately grasp how to interact with it.
e. safety - application of safe work practices and procedures relevant to use of ICT
The splash screen will have a brief disclaimer and a warning that the user needs to be aware of their environmental hazards as they are using the app.
f. ethical and legal issues relating to application development, e.g. mature themes and content
All content will be G-rated and related to curriculum content, as the audience is middle school students.
g. protection of intellectual property with copyright
If any copyrighted materials are used, then they will be acknowledged. Otherwise, every effort will be made to use royalty free media.
h. social issues relating to application development, e.g. online gaming, online gambling games, violent content in games, debate surrounding the effect computer games have on adolescent development
The game will be used once or twice to reinforce learning and has no known negative effects. The positive effects could be that students learn new knowledge.
User interface and user experienceThe user will start by loading the Metaverse app onto their mobile device and scanning the QR code that is projected by their teacher.They will then be directed to a location within or near the classroom that has clues or questions. They will see the interface superimposed on the images coming from their rear camera. This will be in the form of floating question boxes and images.They will respond to the questions by touching buttons on the screen of their mobile device.
