Learning Outcomes Assessed
On completion of A153CEM students should be able to:-
1. Apply AR technologies to create a practical example application.
2. Evaluate the uses of AR technologies in a variety of domains
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the limitations of AR technologies
Task 1 – Business Case (1500 words)
Task 1 – 50%
Explore an existing process or disruptive use that could be impacted by the
introduction of AR technologies. There are two angles that this task can be
approached from.
Existing Process
There are innumerable processes in business that are inefficient or have
limited effectiveness that could be improved by the introduction of
technology. An example of this would be the maintenance and manufacturing
of motor vehicles. Augmented reality enables operatives to improve the
current process to reduce errors and speed up the current processes.
Disruptive Use
In some cases an entirely new use or activity can appear from the introduction of
new technology. A good example of this is the release of Pokémon Go in 2016, it
changed the face of mobile gaming with the introduction of using the physical
environment as part of the playing space. This made monumental changes in the
way people play and perceive games.
Structure of report
Use the concept document that you created in the lab sessions to help you to
structure the argument for your proposed AR system.
Introduction
In the introduction you should set out the current state of play with regard to the
situation that your proposal should impact on. State what currently works well and
what areas there are for improvement.
Implementation of proposed AR use
In this section you should state what the proposed system will do and what
advantage it will bring. What requirements are there for your new proposed system,
what changes would be required?
Technological requirements
What AR technology would be required for your proposed system?
Barriers to entry
This could be technology available, required skills development or change
management.
Task 2 – 50%
Complete an AR application for Android that can scan for flat surfaces and place
anchored 3D objects in the environment.
Create a marker image
Students must create a marker object in an image manipulation software that
utilises transparency. This marker should be placed when the device recognises a
flat surface to show when it is possible to place the 3d object.
Create a 3d Model
Use a 3d modelling software to create a 3d object to be placed in the scene.
Application
Use a game engine to create an .apk file for Android that includes all of the features
stated above.
Hand in requirements
The report will be submitted in PDF format to Aula. Within the report text provide a
link to a file sharing site with the following files:-
• GIMP / Photoshop and .PNG files for your 2d marker image
• Blender / 3DS Max files for your 3d model
• .apk and .unity files for the application

Ranges Report Development Flow Chart
1st Comprehensively explore the business need
for the proposed solution, make a coherent,
compelling and practical case for its
implementation in the proposed business
sector.
Showing a solid technical understanding of
the hardware and software requirements
and the change management required from
existing systems.
Complete all elements of the application to a high
standard of development, fully documented and
evidenced.
2.1 Competently explore the business need for
the proposed solution, make a strong case
for its implementation in the proposed
business sector.
Showing some technical understanding of the
hardware and software requirements.
Complete all elements of the application
development there may be some inaccuracies in
the evidence and documentation.
2.2 Explore the business need for the proposed
solution, make a case for its implementation
with some inconsistencies. The student may
make some false assumptions or struggles to
clearly identify the market.
Showing some technical understanding of
the hardware and software requirements
with some inaccuracies.
Partially complete the application development
there may be some inaccuracies in the evidence
and documentation.
3rd Complete the bear minimum requirements of
the report. Product may not be suitable for
purpose or not fully explore the market.
Poor understanding of the technical
requirements but is able to identify the core
functionality requirements of the product.
Complete elements of the application with some
evidence. At least two of the elements of the
application will be completed to a competent
standard.
Fail Fail to make a case and explore the product
eco system.
False interpretation of the technical
requirements of the proposed product.
Fail to complete any two elements of the
application to the required standar
