    Prototype a scenario for an augmented reality experience.

Inspired by Luke Wroblewski’s twitter post series asking the question What would Augment Reality? Students were asked to create data visualization and demonstrative experiential prototype in the spirit of the augmented reality examples from Luke's posts. Prompted by directives such as “explain”, “check reviews”, and “measure”, students animated prototypes to express real-time 2D Data Visualization in 3D space.
