Challenge
The primary objective was to conduct thorough research on existing augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) technologies. This research encompassed the identification of their features, capabilities, and limitations. The findings of this research were subsequently utilized in the design process for solution utilizing said technologies. Additionally, I conceptualized and validated specific use cases for development.
Role
Robert contributed to the research team, adhering to human-centered design principles. His responsibilities included evaluating the hardware’s capabilities through the development of various experiments that assessed usability across multiple metrics.
Outcome
Due to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) I am bound by, I am unable to discuss further details on this project.
