This project involves creating a functional Augmented Reality (AR) user interface (UI) prototype that demonstrates core interactive elements within a simulated real-world environment. The final tangible outcome will be a deployable AR application on a mobile device or headset, showcasing a spatial UI that responds to user input, integrates 3D elements contextually, and provides a glimpse into future AR interactions. It will not be a fully featured application but a focused proof-of-concept, demonstrating specific UI patterns such as spatial menus, data overlays, or interactive objects. This prototype matters because it establishes foundational capability in designing for the unique constraints and opportunities of AR, moving beyond 2D screens into truly immersive digital experiences. The integration level will be sufficient to validate key interaction flows and visual fidelity.
This project is geared for individuals who are curious about spatial computing, enjoy visual problem-solving, thrive on hands-on creation, and are motivated by seeing their digital creations anchor to the physical world.
