Project Introduction
Overall Problem: Carbon emissions Carbon footprint management Current tools are unusable
High Level Solution
Carbon footprint awareness Environmentally conscious decisions Automate as many steps as possible
Overview
• Representative Tasks• Demonstration• Current User Interface Explanation• Design Evolution - past, present, and
future
Representative Tasks
What tasks do we hope to achieve with our application?
Simple task - learning more about an item Moderate task - comparing items Advanced task - viewing your carbon progress
Representative Tasks (cont.)
Simple TaskUser wants to learn more about an item
The most common way to determine whether an item is "green" or not
Representative Tasks (cont.)
Moderate TaskQuickly comparing items and finding the
most environmentally friendly one
Finding the greenest items is the best way to make environmentally sound choices
Representative Tasks (cont.)
Advanced TaskTracking your progress over time
Difficult to track through traditional means

The Evolution of Our Design
• Our initial design
• What changes we made
• Why we made those changes
• What's next?
At First...
• Heavily relied on physical contact
• A lot of information
• Ambiguous scales
• Ugly
And Then...
• Hard to simulate AR with low-fi prototype
• Users interacted with objects "tablet style"
• Overwhelmed by amount of information
The Final Product
• Simplified design
• More intuitive controls
• Multiple ways
• More Images
Ideas For Enhancement
• Eliminate motion
• Smart suggestions
• Not bound by screen resolution (576)
Summary
• Uncharted territory
• Unique solutions
The Road Ahead
Augmented reality can revolutionize HCI
