FINAL IDEA

What is it?

My final concept will be an augmented reality app, simply titled 'RUG'. This app is a fully functional e-commerce rug designing app, I feel I have truly have found a gap in the market for this app as there is currently nothing else like this out there. The user will be able to create an account, create their own rug by choosing the design, size, shape and colours and order it all within the application. They will also be able to view their rug in their own home before ordering it by using the AR aspect of the app. The user will be able to move and resize their rug while using the AR feature. 




















Who is it for?


I will be aiming this product at people who are working to middle class and are interested in interior design, and home personalisation. I will also be looking to work alongside students, particularly textile students. It will be a platform in which they could view their designs in real time before they make them. I will particularly aim the towards the younger participants of the property market, due to the use of the AR technologies within the app, this would be easier to use by people who are up to date with the current technologies. Millennials who enjoy discovering new, inventive and time saving technologies are perfect candidates to use my app.

AXURE RP EMBED MEDIA TUTORIAL

In this stage of the prototype creation I have all my panels completed in Figma, as well as my augmented reality scene recorded from WiARframe ready for importing. However I was unsure on how to import my video into Axure so that it plays when the page is visited. I read Axure's support blog and learnt that it is easily embedded. They posted a link within the blog post and it took me to their youtube channel. I followed their online tutorial which enabled me to import my video into Axure RP. I now have a semi-working prototype and the next step is to insert my pre-made designs and put it all together for a finished product. 

WORKING PROTOTYPE

To create my working prototype I used a range of platforms to enable myself to get a really clear visualisation of what I want my app to look like and also how I would want it to work . Below is a video of my working prototype  as well as a link to the Axure share page in which it can be tried from.  https://lr0bgm.axshare.com

USING WIARFRAME

When creating my prototype I looked for a software in which I could create my augmented  reality sequence ready to put into Axure RP. I came across a software which was  just starting up called wiARframe, I tried get the software and received an email informing me I was 125th in the queue. However I emailed the founder of the company, explaining who I am and why I wanted access to his software and I gained early access. The wiARframe software is very clean, simple and  quick to pick up. This along with a step by step introduction, enabled me to get a really clear understanding in a short amount of time. I created my own textures in photoshop and imported them to then apply to the found assets on the Google Poly Collection.   In order to get this prototype onto a mobile device I downloaded the wiARframe app and logged into my account which shares the project from both my laptop and my mobile. Any changes I made on my laptop will appear o...
