USER 1
He learned about corals and that there is a term called coral bleaching and understood the meaning of the corals turning white due to external factors. The experience was enjoyable and informative, but there were things that can be improved like making guidelines to help a person navigate through the space better. This is because there are a lot of things happening in the AR space.
The experience was his first AR experience, and he found it enjoyable, unique, and intriguing.
In the walkthrough, he can feel the presence of corals, as he is aware of the bleaching of corals and wants to do his part to prevent it.
USER 2
The experience was amazing and interactive. Touchpoints can be used to travel through the parts of an AR tour.
And she asked how can we trigger a user to take action after viewing the installation.
She knows about corals yet the AR tour is informative and helpful to provide information to unknowns and educate about the causes.
He have been to the places where corals exist near Kerala and Saudi. He experienced this immersive installation as an informative walkthrough that was not just a single walkthrough but a more interactive flow throughout the installation.
He was unaware of the bleaching effect he learned about after the walkthrough from AR World. The installation of bleaching represents the effect of years of bleaching where he got to know about how bleaching is caused and he himself doesn’t use those chemical productsIn addition to learning a few new things about corals, he said the experience was extremely informative and helped him understand the concept of bleaching.
The transition was enriching because of the colorful corals and fish. As he entered the bleached world, he felt guilty because there were dead corals without any life.
USER 4
Scuba diving was his experience, and he knew that touching corals would damage them, as he was informed by the organizers of that event.
Most awareness posters are ignored, but interactive awareness can be a useful concept to keep awareness ongoing and can be part of education.
He learned a few more things about how corals can die through this walkthrough
He said that AR was a very effective medium for bringing their world to ours, so we could experience the deep lives of the coral city. He pointed out the bleached corals could be more colorful as they do not appear inviting, but they are the bleached corals that are dead.
The overall experience was interactive and worthwhile as this was something original that brought life to our world.
