FIGMA TUTORIAL

In order to create my prototype I will be using Figma, alongside Axure RP and WiARframe. Figma will play an important role when designing my interface and I will create all of my design screens. I will then insert them into Axure, along with video of me using the augmented reality aspect in WiARframe and combine them into a working prototype. The reason behind using Figma is due to the simplicity of the software, I can drag and drop all of my materials and start creating quickly and smoothly. I am relatively familiar with using Figma, however to get a really consecutive design I used their youtube channel to find a tutorial on creating styles. Styles allow me to reuse my own designs to define my branding. this is done through  the use of colours and typography. 

This 6 minute video was short but very informative. After watching, I had my styles set up and I was able to create a consistent series of designs ready to import into Axure RP. The HEX codes were easily accessible and my logo was created using these colours as well. I want to stick to the same colours though out as branding and coherency is important to me.

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...
