2. Analyse the Pros and Cons of AR

3. Examine your discipline field that may benefit from AR application

gist of it is the use of the pokemon franchise to make mundane activities in real like such as walking home from school become even more exciting. A spice in our daily dish.

successful ar game 2: Jurassic world Alive.

Similarly to pokemon go its a game where you have to go out of your house to play effectively. Thats where their similarities end. Jurassic world alive has a more in-depth combat system with fleshed our progression battle systems and more social features that helps connect players together such as a guild system and raid bosses. Contrast to pokemon go with a simpler goal of collections.

2. Pros of pokemon go. It encourages players to go outside, increasing physical activities. Promotes discovery of new places in order to catch different pokemon.

Cons of pokemon go. It is a safety hazard where players are distracted from the game when crossing the roads, or even walking into light poles. It also increases screen time on our devices.

3.As a game creator, my goal is to create unique and interesting games to attract as many people as I can to relax and have fun. Currently Ar is not really that popular in the gaming industry yet due to multiple reasons such as the need for specialist devices, or maybe the inability to integrate to existing devices. As technology progresses, AR will definitely provide a different experience from your traditional pc or console games, and would definitely expand the game genre library and also improve technologies that can make life be more fun.

2) One pro of AR is that it reduces costs and risks of training, since AR allows simulating dangerous or expensive environments safely through devices.

Another pro is that it improves customer experience, for example IKEA AR, which allows customers to visualize furniture in their homes, it gives them the "try before you buy" feature that boosts confidence and satisfaction.

One con is that there are privacy and security risks, since AR apps often access cameras and location data, raising privacy concerns.

Another con is that there are some technical challenges, since problems like inaccurate tracking, poor lighting, or lag can break immersion.

Lastly, building and maintaining AR apps can be expensive.

3) I feel that in our discipline field, we can benefit from using AR applications to tell immersive stories by blending reality and virtual forms compared to normal storytelling through full digital form. I also believe that it opens up more opportunities to create different forms of games compared to a normal 3d game we usually create virtually.

2) Pros: Looks really cool especially when its on a large scale to viewers. It's a natural next step in technological progression from the mobile smartphone. It's very engaging for the user as it engages their senses on a more intimate level.

Cons: Would cost alot more to produce in terms of equipment needed and power demands to run the show segment compared to other generic show segment types. Highly stimulating thus addictive for the user. May promote unhealthy gaming habits or reduce/inhibit the user's perception of reality which may cause user injury/harm.

3) Would offer an additional platform to create games. Allows further immersion for the player. Would probably help inspect our 3D models better to ensure that the realistic scaling feels right to us using our own perspective and scale to inspect the models better compared to viewing them from the viewport of a computer screen.

Another one is IKEA Place, allowing users to place 3d models of furniture into their actual living space. This frees users the trouble of having to measure out to space required for the furniture. It also prevents instances whereby the furniture they purchased does not fit the living space.

2. Pros of AR: More immersive than just the screen of the device, generating computer graphics into the real world. Improves the learning experience for students. For example, medical students can visualize internal structures of the body during medical procedures.

Cons of AR: Can potentially be dangerous. One famous example is Pokemon GO, where safety was a big concern. Players were glued to their phones while searching for pokemon, leaving them vulnerable (e.g. crossing road, bumping into someone while walking). Players might also trespass into locations just to catch a pokemon they want. Another one could be privacy concerns, as AR generally requires the user to scan the area. This data may be misused against users.

3. Pokemon GO was the first major success of adding AR into the gaming industry, blending in pokemon and real world elements. It would be interesting to see how the gaming industry further utilize AR to create more immersive settings for players.

Another successful applicaiton would be Google Lens, which mixes photos taken in real life, and overlays it with its image search function, allowing users to easily identify, find similar items through google, or translate words from real life

2: Most pros of AR include its ability to immerse the user in the environment the application is set in, while allowing them to still observe the physical boundaries and objects of the real world. One of the benefits this has is allowing people to train real life skills without having to waste resources or risk the trainee every time, such as during first aid/trauma response training as well as in the training of dangerous lab procedures. This feature of AR also allows it to be safer in the sense that users are less likely to trip/bump into objects unknowingly compared to VR, however it still serves as a distractive source, especially when it comes to games which utilise the Ar function in a wide range of spaces, for example Pokemon go. these games tend to distract players from the real world, obstructing the player's view of things outside the phone screen's boundaries.

3: one of my discipline fields that may benefit from AR would be the widened range of games that could be made, more specifically allowing games to be tailored to the player's environment, allowing for more immersive experiences as well as a wider variety of game mechanics that can be implemented

Google Lens is an image recognition tool designed to provide relevant information related to objects that are being visually analysed by the app. For example, when using the app, it can help automatically connect to a Wifi network when being shown the label with the name and password. It can also translate texts to different languages using the integrated Google Translate.

Case Study 2: ARuler

ARuler is a mobile app that uses the phone’s camera to measure distances, areas and volumes in the real world. For example, when pointing the camera at the floor, the app is able to accurately give a measurement of the floor. This is especially useful for floorplanning without physically measuring with a measuring tape which has limitations.

Pros:

AR can be useful as tools to make things more convenient like using Google Lens to reverse search an object you want to buy or using ARuler to measure the dimensions of a room so that you can plan furniture. These make tasks easier and improve the quality of life.

Cons:

There may be some privacy concerns when it comes to using AR as using the phone’s camera is necessary. For apps like Google Lens, searches are saved in the search history. Users may be sceptical in how the apps may use their data.

3. 

AR can be used to make a variety of revolutionary games. This shows the amazing technological advances since the 19th century.  With these spectacle of games and graphical improvements, a whole new big and upcoming genre of games will make a boom.
