Here are the most basic vital points to consider before creating any Augmented Reality app.
1. Do you really need AR?
- Why should you go for Augmented Reality, and why not other mediums cannot solve that purpose?
- Video instruction can solve the purpose of giving a simple product assembly instruction. Only go the AR for complex assembly instruction where the user needs to see the cross-section or complex structure to understand
2. Learn / Gain
- What is your customer going to learn or gain from the application?
- Creating AR apps to display some 3D object will never help the user learn or gain anything.
- Creating AR apps engineering, especially to learn the machine working principles, would be a great idea.
3. Entertain
- Is that your application will entertain the customer?
- Always use animation or cartoon characters to entertain the user.
- Even though it is a professional purpose like giving product instructions, add some effective animations to entertain the user.
4. Engagement
- Does the AR application continuously engage the user day by day, or is it just a one-time usage?
- Customers don’t prefer to install the app for one-time use. In those cases, go for Web AR.
5. Environment Interaction & User Device
- How is the AR app interacting with the natural world? Also, consider the type of user device. Generally, a head-mounted device like HoloLens or magic leap provides more powerful to understand the environment.
- The purpose of the Augmented Reality is to place virtual objects in the real-world environment. Adding interaction with the environment makes the user feels actual AR outcomes.
- Consider AR ball on the actual table surface. When the ball move out of the table, it should fall instead on the same surface.
