WCTC 1.1.2: Project Planning Document
This video explains the importance of thorough project planning and how it guides subsequent phases effectively, ensuring alignment with project goals and end-user needs. The following items were discussed in detail:
-
Project Planning Document Overview:
- Introduction to the non-editable project planning document used for detailed planning of augmented reality projects.
-
Content Planning:
- Emphasis on the importance of asking specific questions during project planning to guide subsequent phases effectively.
- Explanation of the three content-related slides and their significance.
-
Project Summary:
- Identification of the equipment involved (genetic analyzer 3130 XL) and noting relevant subsystems (oven, PDP system, vial tray).
- Connection to content preparation by specifying subsystems for CAD models and additional content preparation.
-
Processes and Procedures:
- Detailed noting of specific instructions and procedures to be included in the AR experience.
- Granular planning for non-linear exploration (overview), training sequences (safety orientation, starting procedure, water trap flushing), and graded assessments.
-
Content Summary:
- Identifying available content resources such as CAD or 3D models, detailed process descriptions, and the need for additional media like videos.
- Recognition of the need to prepare content before authoring.
-
Goals:
- Clarification of the project's specific impacts, focusing on knowledge retention and potential secondary goals like reducing errors.
- Connection between goals and authoring style decisions to align with the desired outcomes.
-
Target Audience:
- Understanding the end user's knowledge level and tailoring content and style accordingly.
- Impact of the target audience on emphasizing different elements of the AR experience.
-
Viewing Devices:
- Recognition of the devices used to view the AR experience, with a focus on Hololens' unique UI capabilities.
- Consideration of processing power and memory for content optimization.
-
Location:
- Relevance of internet connectivity and environmental factors (e.g., noise level) in determining content elements like audio.
- Consideration of challenges in alignment, especially in varying lighting conditions.
-
Viewing Mode:
- Discussion of rendering modes, distinguishing between device mode and standalone mode.
- Impact on how the AR content is presented and experienced by the end user.
-
Timeline and Notes:
- Internal considerations for project management, timeline, and specific targets for project completion.
