This prototype helped me understand the flow better, the problems, and the experience. I continued and created a medium-fidelity prototype. I wanted to get a better sense of reality (as possible) so I added the device, environment, and the user's hands. In addition, I wanted to get feedback from potential users. So I made a short video that explains the flow and features in more details. I sent the Figma link and the following video to potential users:

The tool is intended for designers and creators, so for my user testing, I only let graphic designers, animators, and Ux/UI designers participate. I sent them the prototype without fully explaining it and let them experience it on their own. The users completely understood the purpose and the idea behind the design. “It looks like a fun tool for creators! I don’t know any tools currently that give users the flexibility to create in 3d, so this idea is spot on.”  The users intuitively understood the flow and stated that they would love to use it in their work. A couple of good questions arose: which AR devices will this be used on? What other AR use-cases are relevant for this tool?


In the end, I created a high fidelity prototype:

Throughout the process, I always thought "what are the practical limits of current AR technology on mobile devices?" but AR is a new environment that is beyond our phone or iPad screens. I think that I and other creators really miss creating with our hands but I understand the importance of digital creation. I’m sure that AR  is the perfect opportunity to create an environment that combines both worlds. This lead me to think that if the technology today would allow it, we will use our hands and real-life tools to create designs for all mediums, so I made one more short example of this possibility
