My project, which I have titled “AR/MR Narrative Interactive Theme Park Experience”, will involve the creation of a digital, interactive theme park environment which will be represented by a large overhead map characterization of an area with various themed environments through with the user will navigate. By using their finger, the user can select an area, zero in on that area and select a ride on which they wish to embark

Throughout the park and the various themed sections, there will be rides which model realistic engineering projects that utilize augmented reality and mixed reality design through out their course and/or duration (See Video 1). These will be activated through their selection by the user, initiating a corresponding (interactive) video sequence which “takes the user on a ride”. The rides will have a narrative focus and will composite various storylines for the user to explore. Different rides can be embarked on in differing orders to vary up the sequence of narrative.

My inspiration for this project comes from various aims to achieve the same means: the ultimate, fully accessible, interactive MR theme park. By venturing into the area of AR/MR, I am able to navigate the obstacles of accessibility and costs with relative ease in comparison to making an actual physical park. In addition, a park where the rides in differently themed sections of the park can compose a multitude of narratives for users to explore is something that greatly appeals to me as a design goal. I think of the experience akin to a real life MMORPG, which is in fact what I intend to achieve, starting from this project.
