Extending the Visual Storytelling Narrative Arc through Augmented Reality

New digital tools and tactics such as augmented reality offer the potential to create new “hybrid” student outcomes. This project-based case study is from an experimental “Visual Storytelling” design elective within a public university School of Design. The experimental class format allowed for the introduction of new curricular methods and strategies, including new tools and platforms for project outcomes. In this case study, an augmented reality extension of a more traditional design project outcome activated student curiosity and experimentation. Hybrid and multimodal methods of visual storytelling bridging print and screen-based experience design increase user engagement with the designed outcome.
