We were approached by Rochester Regional Health to visualize what an augmented reality wayfinding application could look like for their hospitals. This project was a group effort by Namhee Kim, Logan Bicknell, Dax Simitch Warke and myself.

WAYFINDER

PROJECT ROLES 

Our team divided the project into several components. We had an initial discovery phase and brainstorming session that allowed us to think about areas we wanted to explore with the project. We from there began to work on wireframing and storyboarding. My major role in this project was the video compenent. Including shooting the live action footage, motion tracking in After Effect and Mocha Ae, general motion and editing. We all contributed to the project research and planning. Namhee and Logan worked on the UI design.

KEY FEATURES

Map to AR View

We came up with a feature that would let users switch between the 2D indoor map and their AR view based on the position of their phone. We came up with idea because we typically are looking down at our phone. The AR view would become active with the user is holding their phone perpendicular to the ground. Users can also switch between views at their own discretion.

SMART LINKS

Users are able to easily find their destinations by using links shared with them. Once the link is opened within the hospital's geofence, the app will assist the user in finding their desired location.

MULTI-FLOOR NAVIGATION

Wayfinder helps users get to multiple floors in both the 2D map mode and AR mode.

POINTS OF INTEREST

If a user wasn't sent a link to go to a specific location, Wayfinder supplies a directory of frequently visited locations to help lead the user to their destination.
