WIARFRAME TECHNICAL TUTORIAL

To aid me in the creation of my prototype I found this online youtube tutorial very helpful to ensure I fully discover the potential of the software. WiARframe is a great augmented reality prototyping software and I quickly got the hang of it due to the simple interface, step-by-step instructions and this tutorial (see video to right). This tutorial is a walk-through video showing the different assets within the software and this was published by the wiARframe company on YouTube. It starts by showing you how to make your own 3d model and then how to personalise it by adding textures to it. It then shows you how to add interactions for the users and change the state of your assets when loaded up in the app for a number of different gestures. 

This was a trusted source because of who posted the video, and I found that I often referred back to this when creating my prototype. After following this tutorial I was able to have a 3d model of my rug with a 3 different states for it. When loaded up in the wiARframe app the user will be able to resize, move and change their rug. I was able to implement my own pre-made textures into the software and create a professional looking prototype without having to write the coding behind it.

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...
