Task 2
create a professional proposal document that:
Describes the user experience you aim to create.
Analyzes existing solutions to identify gaps or limitations your project will address.
Presents your concept visually through sketches and mockups to illustrate how the final experience will look and function.
Video presentation of your proposal (With Camera On)
Idea Chosen: 1st idea - AR Product Traceability
After alot of brainstorming, I decided to choose my first idea out of the three, which is regarding product traceability through AR. I will narrow down the scope to focus on food products.
The main reason is that I find it interesting, plus during the research phase, I found out that most of the traceability platforms or apps are not meant for consumers, but rather for farmers or producers. I felt that consumers, might have the interest to find out how the supply chain actually works, without diving in too deep and into the technical parts.
Just a cute and simple, interactive visualisation of the supply chain can also serve for a good educational purpose, for parents to teach their children about where the food come from, how are they produced and processed, and finally sent to retail stores, and be bought back to homes.
Therefore, I started to work with my design document, planning the whole structure of the project, the research and the design.
App Name: Farm2Table
As mentioned in the ideas proposal, this app aims to showcase the journey of the food product in AR. I was first so confused when I started to map the flow of the app, which part should I use AR? I reconstruct my whole idea for a few times,
marker-based: scanning the marker on the product, straight away show the supply chain visualisation on top or beside
markerless: search for flat surface, then show the supply chain visualisation on the surface
After much consideration, I decided to combine the both.
First using marker-based AR, after scanning the product, will show what the product is, and some nutritional facts etc., then if the user wish to discover more, prompt the user to find a flat surface, eg. a table, and use markerless solution to show the supply chain on the flat surface.
I made a simple flowchart about the app flow for better visualisation.
I've found a quite interesting design of a logo online, about Farm2Table, in a 3D style. So I decided to design my own logo, using Adobe Illustrator to build a 3D model. It was fun and frustrating at the same time, maybe I'm more used to using Blender.

All the details of my design are written in the design proposal document.
I recorded the whole presentation with my video on, BUT ZOOM DID NOT RECORD MY VIDEOOOOO...so I had to record the whole presentation again TT. Sorry about the bad quality video, I had to shut myself in a room to record it, maybe it's because of the unstable wifi.
