2. INTERFACE DESIGN
There is a need for user interface design

3. USER EXPERIENCE
Because it enhances the user experience

4. INTERIOR DESIGN
And in an Interior design context, the research aims to conceptualise and build various user interfaces for visualising 3D objects with a project provided by PTW Architects. The UI and UX will then be tested and evaluated against project specific criteria. The overarching expectation of this application is to enhance the design process, by streamlining the communication between the client and the designer.

5. QUESTION HOW CAN THE ENHANCEMENT OF MOBILE
APPLICATION USER EXPERIENCE REFINE THE ARCHITECTURAL ITERATIVE DESIGN PROCESS?
WHY? Because I want to test how the enhancement of mobile application user experience refines the architectural iterative design process.

6. Testing Effectiveness Criteria
But this also leads to other questions….
1. How effective can the application of MAR tools be in an interior design context?
2. What criteria can be applied to test the effectiveness of a MAR user interface in an interior design context?
3. How effective is a project specific set of heuristics at the beginning of the development process vs after user testing?
