The document discusses the process of designing handheld augmented reality applications from start to finish. It outlines some of the hurdles in AR development such as needing to understand image processing and use mobile devices in new ways. The document then describes the stages of an AR app design process: discovery, entry, reality, and greenroom. It asks why AR is useful before concluding and thanking the audience.

8. AR Hurdles
• We need to be in the right place
• We need to jump through hoops before we can do anything useful
• We need to understand image processing. Planes, point clouds, jargon
• We need to use the phone in a way we’re not used to. Like a handycam
operator

9. Why are we doing this again?
• Location context
• We communicate in 3D
• Spatial awareness
• We live in the real world

10. Start to Finish
• Discovery
• Entry
• Reality
• Greenroom

11. Discovery

14. • Utility
• Notifications
• Emotional State
• Progress and completion

15. Entry

20. Reality

27. Greenroom

28. • What did you do?
• Is everything saved?
• When are you coming back?

29. Reality Centered Design?
