This is the final project of year 3. For this project we have been tasked with coming up with our own project which we will see through to completion. Considerations that we will have to take into account will be insuring that the scope of the project is kept large enough that a project worthy of the final project of a degree can be produced. But at the same controlling the scope and project creep.
The brief is as follows:
This unit involves the creation and the production of a self-directed major project. You will develop a rigorous project proposal that will take into account your individual experiences and skills - both practical and theoretical - gained over the last three years. You will need to evidence knowledge of key practitioners, theories and developments related to the project’s subject area and place the work that you wish to undertake within this knowledge.
The implementation of this proposal will draw together all your research, design, and management skills as well as your theoretical skills and knowledge. Through tutorials and formative crits you will evidence how your project sits within the broader cultural, historical and social context.
This project will form an important part of your design portfolio and is usually displayed at your graduate exhibition. With this in mind your project needs to conform to rigorous professional standards in its production. The realisation of this project should make a significant contribution to your ability to progress to your chosen graduate destination be that a professional role in the design industry or postgraduate study.
With this in mind the project be problem solving as well as problem posing and you are encouraged to engage in a experimental design process and to develop innovative design solutions and design problems.
Looking at the brief above it is important to choose a project that covers all these bases. I also want to develop a project that relates to my Thesis which was based on Augmented Reality and Healthcare.
Areas that I want to explore in my project specifically are:
AR and VR(known together as Mixed Reality or XR)
Design for a tool for training / education
Immersive Interfaces
Scenario Based Learning
Audio usage in UX
Global Data Visualisation
Big Data
Gamification of data visualisation
Together these areas form the basis of my research topics. I will need to further investigate how these topics will link together to form a cohesive project to develop into a prototype.
