Our team evaluated Kyoto VR’s GPS based AR audio guide application. We performed background research and created a method to determine the efficacy of the product, identify its target market, and create recommendations for its improvement. This method involved performing user experience (UX) testing and conducting surveys. Our UX testing consisted of interviewing, field observations, and data recording. After analyzing the data we collected, we created user profiles from observing trends among our test users. We used the profiles and UX data to create recommendations for the next steps Kyoto VR should take in the development of this application. By working as external consultants for Kyoto VR, we expanded our ability to work in teams, perform field testing, and analyze data.
