My Project Plan

Plan and Story

I am planning on an Augmented Reality (AR) project where I can get an image I can print out so I can bring in a character for them to perform any simple action. The story of my project is that it is an AR project where people can bring their smart devices out and find any image tracker to bring out any character I make, in order for people to then make any of my character perform simple actions such as waving their hand, walking and jumping. AR images I use will be put in different locations/places where people can explore and find them as if they are on a scavenger/easter egg hunt.

Inspirations for my work

The inspiration for my project is Nintendo 3DS AR Games, a game that works for 3DS and 2DS systems with the use of AR game cards. I experienced 3DS AR Games since I was a child in 2011, the year the 3DS came to existence and it still enjoy it. My favourites for AR games are Star Pics and Mii Pics, the latter of which you can bring any created Mii to AR where you can change their sizes, actions and facial expressions. Star Pics involve AR game cards with popular video game characters such as Mario and Kirby.

My past AR game photos

This photo shows me playing Star Pics in AR Games where I brought out Mario and placed him next to the ? Block that people need to use to navigate around. It shows Mario jumping high and the block running. This was taken 5 years ago (November 2018) to Nintendo 3DS Camera on a 2DS system I have with an SD card for it since October 2018.

This photo shows me playing Mii Pics where I brought out my personal Mii with two female Miis I have created to AR where I had my personal Mii putting his hands in the air with the two female Miis cheering for my personal Mii. This was taken in early November 2023 to Nintendo 3DS Camera on the same 2DS system I have with the same SD card for it.

Softwares to Use and Publish

Softwares I will use to create my AR project are Adobe Aero and Unity where I can experiment a little with Aero and get used to its tools and learn from my past AR projects. I will publish my work on Zapworks as I learnt it for my past AR projects.

Production Timeline

This is my production timeline made from Trello where I have set lists for each task I have made to set out deadlines for them to help with my progress for my AR project.
