As an XR researcher collaborating with the Technical Hochschule and the City of Ingolstadt, I played a pivotal role in a project aimed at enhancing interaction between locals, tourists, and the city's historical landmarks. My responsibilities included guiding students in acquiring the knowledge needed for ideation, conducting UX research, and crafting innovative prototypes for an immersive and engaging experience.
Size of the experience
Since the playspace is a city, both the world scale and the room-scale are ideal for this experience.
Storytelling - Link the present to the past
In the narrative, the city has a guardian knight who appears at various locations in the city.
Select a Mixamo character for rapid MAR prototyping
Interacting with the character
The guardian knight becomes defensive when people approach it too closely and don't respect his personal space.
However, if users maintain their social distance, particularly during COVID time, he dances to everyone's delight!
