Weekly Accomplishments
This week I’ve been thinking about the final deliverable for this project, I’m working on a multi-page zine with the environment markers and links, with drawings and information about the project. I think this is a good starting point and if I am able to make a couple plaques for wall hangings, I’ll do that as well. Overall, I feel like I’m in a good place to finish out this project.

Challenges
Challenges include thinking about where I’ll get the material printed, for the testing at the exposition I printed them myself, I’m considering pricing of ink vs. the cost of professional printing.

Future Work
Overall, I feel like I got a lot out of this project this semester and will be printing out the zines and finished project by next week.

Weekly Accomplishments:
I displayed my work so far on this project at the Illuminating Connections Expo at the WID building. I was able to receive some good feedback on the AR experiences so far. Out of the 20 people who stopped at my booth only 3 weren’t able to view the experience due to either not having a phone or not understanding instructions. I was also able to gauge interest on a scale from 1-10 per person with an average of 7 interest.

After the exposition I started making some new sketches for where the final project is heading and ideas for my final distribution method.

Challenges:
The main challenge will be figuring out the best way to distribute the experiences for the final project and how to integrate them into the space. Another challenge was some of markers worked better than others, though they were all functional that’s something I’ll be working on for the final project.

Future Work:
This week I’ll be creating the final project, including making changes on the current markers and 3D models and putting together the materials for distribution. Either in zine or plaque form, or both.

Weekly Accomplishments
Over the past two weeks I’ve been working on the prototypes to bring to the Illuminating Connections exhibit. I came up with three concepts called, “Explore”, “Discover”, and “Imagine” with unique markers and QR codes that I’ll have displayed in a binder, with some handouts for people who want to take one home. I also created a poster which should be ready for pick up tomorrow.

Challenges
Mostly my challenges this week have been time-related, but I feel like I’m in a good place to get some feedback on Thursday about where to take this further and to gauge interest level.

Future Work
Next, I’ll be thinking about a non-intrusive way to have the experiences available for students in the WID area, I started making a zine that could be distributed on the tables, or a more attractive sign could be created.
