IDAT204 - Augmented Reality - Main Idea

Well i've come up with my initial idea for IDAT204. We have to create something to use augmented reality to do something...

A pretty open brief.

This is the actual brief, as it appears on the module overview document found on the university portal:

"Working individually participants are required:

- To investigates either (option 1) the ways in which the real world can be augmented with different forms of digital information or (option 2) the ways in which an interactive sound environment can be designed, constricted and implemented.

- To negotiate your particular idea and its possible implementations with the tutors in order to define the “nature”, “specifications” and “realisation” of your individual project.

- To implement your idea in the most creative and effective way.

- To analyse in your blog the conceptual context of your idea and final product, the aim and the results achieved, the positive and negative aspects of its planning, designing and implementation."


My main idea for this brief will be titled "Car Assistance", all of my further blogs on this subject will be titled this.

The main idea is to incorporate a car assistance system into a driving expeirence to help the driver get to where they need to be, quickly and safely.

The system will allow users to see many different things such as where they need to go, and also show when other drivers are slowing down.

More posts to follow on this subject.
