Weekly accomplishments:
To begin my first phase of my independent study in “WebXR” or web-based augmented reality, I’ve been researching and exploring options for location-based artwork using augmented reality, since I’ve determined I want to be involved in web-based AR for ease of use it seems like utilizing AR.js could be the best option.

Challenges:
My main challenges will be learning more about using GitHub and diving deeper into the world of coding, but there seem to be many resources in how to get started available, with the basic knowledge of coding and interactive design I’m confident I’ll find the information I need to get started.

Future work:
I’m going to be continuing my research and getting the correct dev environment and workflow set up, I’ll be modeling the digital artifacts themselves in Blender3D. Also, next week I’ll be researching more about what has been done already for artistic inspiration.
