ARKit UX Analysis
1 like132 views
This document discusses user experience requirements for augmented reality apps. It evaluates over 90 ARKit titles across 14 categories and identifies three main AR UX requirements: 1) Providing instructions for how users can direct and control the AR scene since it is difficult for users to physically manipulate perspective and scale. 2) Giving guidance on how to optimize the AR experience and content for different physical perspectives. 3) Properly timing app permissions requests and explanations since interaction can break without permissions. It analyzes several example AR apps and identifies best practices for meeting these requirements.

- 11. AR UX Requirement - 1 DIRECTING THEIR OWN SCENE - Much harder to control the physical direction of interaction - Scaling, Depth & Perspective of the AR content demands instruction on how to control the scene - Imagine holding 2 mirrors to cut your hair
- 12. AR UX Requirement - 2 PHYSICALITY - Perspective change can change the interaction requirements AND for transformative experiences, the content itself - Demands instructions on how to optimize the experience and/or content
- 13. PERMISSIONS TIMING - Until permissions are granted by default, interaction and maybe even content can be broken if permissions are not granted by your users - Context matters, and demands right timing & explanation AR UX Requirement - 3
