Problem

In this project, I chose the user manual as my design subject. First, I did a simple field study to find common problems people encounter when using user manuals. Based on these qualitative data, I listed some hypothetical design goals to help me build a general direction for my later user research.

User Research

To get a comprehensive understanding of manual users, I designed a survey and published it on a survey site. A total of 102 replies were collected, of which 100 were valid. Here are some key findings.

Ideation

In this phase, I used the Insights, Quesitons, Ideas (IQI) method to help me generate design concepts

Usability Test

Takeaways

• The geometric complexity of the product will affect Vuforia’s tracking performance. So for electronic products with minimal design style, it’s pretty hard for Vuforia to track them accurately

• Users' external constraints like room lighting, space, and camera quality may cause a poor user experience. So, there are some technical issues to be solved

• Vuforia’s 2D tracking performance is so much better than 3D?

• During the usability test, users had a strong inclination to interact with virtual buttons, so enriching the virtual experience is very important for user experience

• Force users to download an AR app to experience it may not be the best solution, gonna try Web AR next time and learn Three.js
