Learn Augmented Reality Design Principles in this Adobe Aero series led by artist Heather Dunaway Smith.
What is Augmented Reality & What Can it Do?
AR is a brand new medium. Learn what it is, what led us here, where we are now, & where we are headed.
AR’s Unique Capabilities & Considerations:
Learn the unique capabilities, constraints, & opportunities of augmented reality.
What you learned:
• Context is an important tool in AR.
• Image anchors allow you to attach a digital experience to a specific image in the real world.
• Our brains are built to understand spatial relationships, which makes scale and proximity two really powerful tools in AR.
• Location-based experiences allow you to anchor an AR experience to a specific GPS location.
• AR experiences created with Aero are viewed through a mobile device, either a phone or a tablet. These devices only have a certain amount of screen real estate, so it’s essential to keep that in mind when you’re designing.
• Optimization is a key part of designing successful AR experiences since processing power is limited on mobile devices.
• Directing the eye in 3D space has unique challenges, but we have tons of preexisting visual design principles to help guide the way.
• Audio is an important part of immersive experiences. It can be used to direct attention, give additional information (about objects or an environment), respond to participants (when they interact), and is an easy way to bring emotion to a piece.
• Interaction creates an opportunity for deeper connections with your audience. It’s one of the key things that makes AR different from passive mediums, like film.
