I enjoyed this project because of its creative opportunities and it helped me deepens my knowledge of Augmented reality and its uses. After I did user interviews I found out that many people agree that AR feature would help in their furniture buying experience, however most of the people are not taking advantage of this new technology. In this project I faced many challenges in usability testing of AR feature. It was hard to convey AR features on wireframe prototype that was not fully developed. I had to ask users to visualize this as fully functional app.
