Opportunity
Sometimes, language gets in the way of making the most of our trips
When traveling to places with unfamiliar languages, basic communication can become a major hurdle. Learning key local phrases beforehand not only simplifies daily interactions but also improves the entire travel experience.
01
research and scoping
Learning a small set of essential phrases can help us navigate most of our daily interactions.
The first step was to identify what those key phrases were. Given the short timeline of this project, we stuck to secondary research to find our answers. We quickly identified some of the most common situations that travelers encounter
02
ideation
Using XR superpowers to learn languages
like never before
XR Superpowers is a concept introduced to us by our course mentor. It’s an idea generation technique that brings the focus on the unique capabilities of XR as a technology. It enables us, as XR designers to ideate on entirely new interaction paradigms that were not possible before.
03
prototyping
Showcasing one of the flows from the
complete experience
We quickly created a low-fidelity prototype of one of the scenarios using ShapesXR. In this a person who wishes to visit Kerala can interact with virtual avatars of auto drivers and ask to take a ride to the railway station.
