 Final Project

Name: wangsai

Student ID : 0367388

Course: Bachelor Of Interactive spatial Design (Hons) 

Week 10 - Week 14


Todo:



Processing:

I shall refine my Campus AR Kit further based on my Task 3 project. I have decided to begin by creating an AR effect capable of recognising campus ID cards. 

I intend to design a student card within Figma that can display our information.



I intend to add a button to the AR camera to assist me in recognising this student card. 



I created a new scene and incorporated Taylor's elements into it.




Additionally, an optimisation has been implemented to add a back button.



I have placed my student card here so that it can be viewed directly; after my modifications, it is now more intuitive.


Next, we shall proceed to enhance the visual presentation of the previous timetable information.

I have designed more detailed course information in Figma.


As I am using Windows and cannot build for iOS, I shall provide my source files. They are organised in the same folder structure as Task 3. The link is below:

Reflection:

Developing the Augmented Reality (AR) prototype for my final project was a challenging but rewarding experience that significantly strengthened my technical problem-solving skills. The main goal of this project was to create a smooth narrative flow in which users interact with 3D signage to verify their student identity, seamlessly connecting physical space with digital interaction.

Throughout the development process, I encountered several technical obstacles. One of the earliest challenges involved 3D interaction logic, where user clicks on the signage were not being detected. After multiple rounds of testing and debugging, I realized the importance of properly configured Box Colliders and raycasting. By adjusting these elements and refining the interaction script, I was eventually able to trigger the UI reliably.

Another major issue arose during scene transitions. The application repeatedly crashed when switching scenes, which led me to discover that all scenes must be manually added to Unity’s Build Settings. This was a critical detail I initially overlooked. In addition, I encountered a black screen problem in the secondary scene, which I resolved by correctly assigning the ARCamera tag and adjusting the canvas rendering mode to ensure proper visibility.

Overall, this project highlighted the importance of balancing creative storytelling with precise technical execution in AR design. By the end of the process, I successfully delivered a functional prototype that bridges the physical and digital worlds. More importantly, the experience strengthened my confidence, resilience, and ability to troubleshoot complex systems within Unity.

Games Development / Week 1 Homework

-
Image
  Week 1 Homework To do: Individually come out with a game idea (or many ideas, remember the limitations), and make your first game pitch. Some lucky (or unlucky) students will be selected to do a 10-minute presentation of their game idea(s) next week on September 30. No specific format for now (we’ll do Game Design Document in a later class), so try to find the most creative and effective way to convey your game ideas. This may not end up being your Final Project, but it will still contribute to your Continuous Assessment grade. Hence, document the process in your blog. Submit the link to your blog post by Sept 29 midnight.

Embedded System Project 1   Week 1  This week we've had a general introduction to the embedded system, and we've covered it in class. An Embedded System is a specialized computing system that is embedded into a larger device or system to perform specific tasks. Unlike general-purpose computers, embedded systems are highly optimized , have specific functions , and are not used for general computing . They typically consist of hardware (e.g., microcontrollers, sensors, memory) and software (e.g., firmware, real-time operating systems). Key Features of Embedded Systems： 1. Specific Functionality Typically performs only specific functions, such as control, monitoring, or data processing. 2. Limited Resources Limited in computing power, storage, and power consumption, requiring efficient optimization. 3. Real-time Performance Many embedded systems must respond within a specific time frame, such as in autonomous driving systems. 4. Low Power Consumption Many embedded devices (e.g...

 Assignment1 Trending Experience Todo: Task 1 helps you explore current Augmented Reality (AR) trends and understand marker-based , markerless , and location-based experiences before choosing your final project idea. Research AR Trends Experiment Reflect Propose 3 Ideas Processing: Research AR Trends I have identified three commonly used AR applications on the market to serve as my inspiration. 1. Apple Ar :   These applications combine the limitless choices of online shopping with the “hands-on experience” of offline retail, ultimately aiming to eliminate consumer uncertainty during purchases. By overlaying virtual product models onto real-world environments at a 1:1 scale, users can intuitively assess size, style, and outfit compatibility, enabling more informed purchasing decisions. User input:  Previewing an orange iPhone 17 Pro Max on my computer keyboard App output: 2. Particle Cam: The core value of this type of application lies not in “previewing products” or “...
