What do you think the Apple Mixed Reality hardware will be like at launch?

7 Sept 2022

We've been thinking about what MR/AR headset Apple might launch first and where the computer would be to drive it. We've mocked up a couple of options to think about.

Apple's Focus Mode

There are different ways that we could potentially interact with text in the physical world that we could select and use in a digital way. In this example we look at a couple of different selection methods for selecting a phone number and making a call.

Apple's Currency Converter

Converting real world information into that which is more meaningful, or useful, to us is going to be a very powerful experience. Here we look a simple currency conversion scenario that could a small everyday contextual enhancement while travelling.

OUR HUB FOR
AR & SPATIAL DESIGN

We want to show some of the work we are doing as we explore different potential customer needs, and overlay these with aspects of Spatial Computing, Augmented Reality and Everyday AR.

WATCH OLIVER'S TALK

We have presented locally and globally on Spatial Computing. An example of this is a talk Oliver did for UXAustralia looking at the history of how humans have augmented their capability. We have also done a range of talks for corporate teams, so they can better understand this exciting new era and the opportunities for their business. We can also conduct training to help your UX Design teams understand the options around tool chains and workflows to create these new experiences.

Please contact us if you would like us to present to your team on the User Experience of Spatial Computing and Augmented Reality and how it could apply to your business.

SPATIAL COMPUTING

“Spatial Computing is a series of technologies that can “see” and map the real world, understand it, and predict the next moves of objects within it, while doing the same for digital worlds that may or may not have ties to the real, physical world, all the while helping humans and/or machines navigate either.”

LAYERS OF AR EXPERIENCE

While most VR headsets are current very App based, we expect that in the future it will be more integrated into the overall user experience. “As we considered various Augmented Reality use cases and capabilities, a framework emerged that helped us think about what the different types of engagements might be.”

We are UX specialists exploring and creating the future of user experiences and interaction design

Contxtual: relating to the circumstances that surround a particular experience. By leveraging aspects of context, we can improve the efficiency of interaction, and add richness to experiences.
