Project Planning & Managment

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...

An example of a competitor who has a website which is in the same field as what my app RUG is, is Bags of Love. Where there are already similar products to my idea, there is nothing quite like it on the market yet. On this site  you can upload or pick the design, change the text, colour and size of the rug and they will make it for you. The level of personalisation that the user can edit is similar both on this site and on my application. The thing that differentiates my app to the Bags of Love site, is the fact that Augmented Reality is being implemented to revolutionise the way users shop.  However, when actually using the site and trying to upload a design, add text or change colours, I found something this site lacks. The actual design of this website looks relativley basic, and as soon as you start to use it it lags, glitches and uses low resolution on a 2D display to show you your design. The glitches are something that makes you ...

Unmade is a company that allows their users to alter the pre made designs for their own clothes. The website itself is very pleasing to view and the interactivity is also easy to use, the simplicity is something that I really want to try and implement into my app. Although this website is for clothing, the personalisation aspect is along the same lines of what i'm aiming to do. On this site you can pull and drag the designs and pick from a selection of colours and then place your order for it to be made, this is something I will take future references of.  To differentiate my app from this competitor I will firstly be selling a different product. The user will be able to personalise and design their rug but they won't have the same level of interactivity as unmade offers. I will also be implementing augmented reality, this is something unmade doesn't include. It will offer a different form of interactivity so that the users can actually see their design in their ...
