3 Project Proposal 

Feedback 

Idea 01: AniReal

• Other than the listed features, what else can it do to make it more interesting?
• Just opening it and playing animations is a little boring.
• What other purposes could it fulfill?

Idea 02: BuildSight

• This idea is the most feasible / Solid one.
• Maybe it can be combined with another idea to make it even better or add more feature for this 

Idea 03: Recipe Tour

• This idea is more difficult to execute, as the final outcome and visuals you envision might turn out very differently.
• It’s not really recommended to proceed with this one.

Reflective Writing 

To begin with this assignment, I first came up with three proposal ideas. After that, I conducted general research for each idea I had, focusing on their limitations, strengths, and overall concepts. Throughout the process of writing these proposals, I had the opportunity to think more deeply and explore different AR applications online. Although it took me some time to find the exact information or projects that suited my idea, the research process was inspiring and enjoyable. It helped me a lot to discover new possibilities for my project and gave me a clearer understanding of what AR is and what it can do. Overall, this experience not only improved my knowledge of AR but also inspire me new creative ideas for how I can apply it in meaningful ways.

At the start of this assignment, my understanding of AR was quite limited—I thought that AR mainly referred to filters or simple entertainment features. However, after conducting my research, I realized that AR can be used in many different fields, such as education, healthcare, design, and others. This discovery helped me see AR in a completely new light and made me more excited to explore how I can implement it in my project after.
