Gather Route
This project transforms travel planning into a shared ritual. Using an AR layer over a physical map, groups can visually explore destinations, drop bookmarks, compare interests, and build itineraries together in a more tangible, conversational way. Designed for families, friends, and cross-generational travelers, the experience reduces decision fatigue and encourages collective discovery. The project reframes planning from a solitary task into an engaging, collaborative moment.
Process:
The process started with user research and behavioral mapping to understand how different generations plan trips together. I then translated these insights into a hybrid workflow combining physical maps and AR visualization. Early prototypes explored spatial UI, gesture interactions, and bookmark behaviors. Through multiple rounds of Figma wireframes and user flow testing, I refined the system architecture and interaction patterns. The final prototype integrates AR overlays, shared bookmarks, and itinerary generation into a cohesive collaborative experience.
Learning Outcomes:
This project expanded my ability to prototype with AR tools, build spatial interfaces, and visualize complex information across multiple layers. I deepened my skills in research synthesis, collaborative workflow design, and testing interactions that support real-time coordination between users. Working across physical and digital mediums also sharpened my approach to designing cohesive hybrid ecosystems.
