UX Design Patterns for Augmented Reality (AR) apps & games

  1. 1. Design patterns in AR apps Prepared by Kai Turner kai@kaigani.com – @kaigani
  2. 2. Design patterns Real-world objects Camera composition Computer vision Follow Catch VR immersion
  3. 3. Real-world Objects QR CODES SHAPES TRADING CARDS STAGE • Unique identifier • Reads as design for mobile apps • Less intruisive design • Can relate to unlockables • Physical collectibles • 2D-to-3D relationship • Fixed point in the world • Allows relative size scale
  4. 4. Real-world Objects AR Basketball
  5. 5. Real-world Objects Table Ice Hockey Playstation Vita US Postal Service - AR App Pokémon concept
  6. 6. Blippar
  7. 7. Follow Catch • Uses accelerometer and gyroscope • Layers images on top of the camera background • Virtual objects are not constrained by the real world
  8. 8. Follow Catch The Hidden Park AR Invaders Happi Full Throttle
  9. 9. VR Immersion • Uses device orientation and compass • Spherical panoramic background/scene • Doesn’t use camera Andy’s Dinosaur adventure CBeebies Playtime app
  10. 10. Star Chart
  11. 11. Camera composition • Easy to use – position elements by hand • Uses camera only – no device dependencies • Save photo / render video • Face capture Disney Infinity: Action!
  12. 12. Camera composition Disney Infinity: Action! IKEA Catalogue app Toca Hair Salon Me
  13. 13. Computer vision FACE DETECTION EDGE COLOUR OBJECTS GESTURE MOTION • Humanises the technology • Puts participant in the scene • Help with perspective • Real-world scene definition • Magical transformation of real to virtual • Interact with objects through the lens of the device • Get active
  14. 14. Computer vision Keepy Uppy Blue Peter OpenCV demo Kung Fu Skeeter Color Band
  15. 15. ColAR Mix
  16. 16. Computer vision
  17. 17. Recommendations • Expect snafus – don’t depend on AR features • Make it fun despite (tech) failure • Don’t require precision • Use broad gestures • Allow for play with or without real world objects • ‘Draw your own’ trumps ‘print a copy’ • Replayability trumps one-off gimmicks • Choose the best aspects of each AR feature • Create something new unexpected
