Initial idea update: so far the app Alphabet Magic (app name, but I may change this down the line ) will be an app that focuses on understanding the alphabet and letter sounds, the concept of the app revolves around a popular teaching technique called Orton–Gillingham Method used to teach dyslexic children, how to read by focusing on the connection between letters and their sounds. The premise is more or less the same as it will work with alphabet cards, where the users can point their devices to the cards and a letter or word will pop up, users will be able to interact with the letter /word by tapping on it to hear the pronunciation/letter sound.
This week I decided to sketch out the two main features of the app, letters and words. At first both these aspects would have been in one AR experience but I felt this will make the ar experience too overwhelming, another concept was to have the ar experience work on both sides of the cards but this probably wouldn’t work as the users would have had to keep flipping the card and the whole user experience would probably not have worked very well. So splitting it into separate features will probably be more efficient. However, I am planning on testing these two features just to double check it works well.
