AR is controlled by conduct and interconnection. The given article will touch upon a theme of design models and styles set up in the modern AR apps. Early determination of a practice can help to realize a type of the data to be provided. Testing plays the essential role in the design and finding out the main point of each practice.

Illustrating the principal focus of the practice

• Focus № 1: Firstly, actual time.

In the actual time practice, the success of the practice depends on the customer’s interconnection in the actual time with 2- and 3- dimensional information.

• Focus № 2: Firstly, story.

In the story experience, the success of the practice relies on the customer’s having a set of actions to get a principal aim.

• Focus № 3: Firstly, imprinting.

In the imprinting experience, the success of the practice depends on the client’s making videos or pictures.

Design

Experts must make components that are skeptical about their surrounding and work with contrast. In AR, it is a good approach to preview and examine an interface with different backgrounds on the stage of development.

Modern Survey

There are some typical design types in the present AR landscape. But some features can change any time.

Colour

• White is the universal color for textual information, images, and guides.
• In apps, there are additional gradients and sketches to make the components easier to read.
• System colors are used to mark the mistakes, warnings or finished conditions.
  

Location

• Fixed components are located up or down on the screen.
• Supplementary components and hints are usually placed down on the screen.
  

Text

• The text is always presented as a heading or a label.
• In most cases, two colors are used for the text: white or yellow.

Icons

• Icons can be detailed, complete and outlined.
• Icons are applied infrequently.
• Icons contain shadows and sketches to be noticeable.

Signals

• Signals vary from minimal to complicated and imitated.
• Signals are applied in white, black, and blue colors.
• Signals can be changed. They are flexible.

Kinds of AR Customer Interfaces

Augmented reality can demonstrate itself in different types of interfaces. Below there are presented some popular kinds of interfaces:

•       Heads Up Display
•       Tangible User Interface
•       Voice User Interface
•       Graphical User Interface
•       Future User Interface

In conclusion, there is no doubt that these piece of advice and concrete guidance can help AR developer become the guru in the mobile AR development.

How can imagine the people living without cinema? Movies, popcorn and some VR innovations, which are so attractive for the customers to get new emotions. In cinematography there are some problems to solve in order to convey the main story.

In present time an atmosphere prevails over the story. It doesn’t matter what drama and events happen at the same time, instead of these customers focus their attention on a current surrounding. The thoughts are there and their mind receives a valuable experience. The first rule of cinemaholics and moviemakers is to concentrate on a frame. Now a user should be a component of the creation of an additional unique universe.

Vision in VR

In past times an observer is a slave of a director’s vision. A camera guides where to look at, and details outside of the frame are not observed.

In the VR version, the view is limitless. In this case, the story creator has some problems with the center of the view because the user can watch 360 degrees in every direction. In order to prevent the trouble, the director should put the VR camera in the corner, and the view becomes a little bit limited.

The problem of VR in cinema

An obvious problem for all VR engineers is motion sickness. Some effects make VR experts mad to understand the problem, which appears for the users. If the VR technologies are working well, the moving actions help VR transfer the users in the world of magic and bring extremely breathtaking emotions.

VR sound in the process of cinematography

To immerse deeply in the VR atmosphere means also a reproduction of 3D sound. If the user loses the key moment by looking away, the specialized noise makes the customer follow back to the motion. It is quite important to note that in future the sound should be corresponded with a particular object in a realization.  

Editing is horrible

In modern cinematography, the traditional moviemakers have already their own methods of transition between scenes. They can be different according to the story: steady or rapid, intense or uncontrolled.

In VR a question of transition is solved by closing the user`s eyes and immerse in the virtual world gradually.  The quality of the image depends primarily on the VR equipment.

In conclusion, VR introduces something special into the sphere of cinematography. All effects should be improved according to the human recognition.

Nowadays there is no exact answer to what skills and instruments AR expert must have because of AR starting stage of development.

There is one skill which becomes a basis of any practice.

•       An ability to demonstrate a sequence of actions attentively and effectively.

This is a step which is significant for any advertising stage of AR. Specified and accurate descriptions are easy to carry out and examine.

Speaking about the patterns of interface and conduct, they are crucial for the AR creation. The first basic feature might be done is

•       a content input.

If an object is in action it helps to keep a pace for the whole experience. The input can be automatized, manual and target. Some important questions should be observed and researched. E.g. May your information be placed in a surrounding? Where is the place of information while interacting with a goal?

The second feature to create a perfect AR product is

•       warnings and benefits

Benefits help users be always inspired and ready to have the next step. Warnings can pay users’ attention to mistakes and a wrong way of a performance. It is important to visualize all experienced actions and occasions in order to investigate a whole surrounding.

The third condition to deal with is

•       Non-screen indicators

Indicate a way how to warn a user, if the object takes a different location.

The fourth characteristic touches upon

•       Interaction with data

It means the user’s practice with mobile AR where customers can realize what they can do or not. Some patterns and advice may help to navigate in the current surrounding.

•       Snapping

Snapping reminds a guide, which helps a user to determine a logic and limitations for the AR output. There are 3 types of snapping: referring to the object, the surrounding, and the guide.

The last feature to be noted is

•       A guide

It is the expert which provides a visualization of shadows, borders, forms, lines, signals, movements, and changes.

From the features, one may conclude that the creation of AR output is a very complicated task to w

Mass media implement some experimental VR innovations in a working schedule. VR technologies and 360-degree media format let reporters share their stories in a special way and make an audience experience current news. Limitations and models are not determined yet. VR may construct a unique way of expressing the world and a human immersion in it.

Newsmen always should find and gather an information, analyze and make it unique and interesting for readers. Their profession has special responsibilities. They observe and publish everything, what people may take care of: from food products till issues of a private life. A skillful manipulation of the information and a right use of it are both essential assignments of every journalist. In this connection, VR modernizations become a means of reaching goals.

VR in Journalism

The best samples of the VR reporting are presented in the list below:

•       Guardian ‒ 6×9

The VR technologies are built in the solitary prison. Everybody may observe the zone of a prison room and feel an influence of an isolation on a human psychological state.

•       NYT ‒ Sensations of Sound

It is a New York Times project where a dimensional audio is provided to share stories of hearing and its problems.

•       Wall Street Journal ‒How Thousands of Pigeons became Art

VR project by Duke Riley where the pigeons’ flying creates a magic atmosphere of a piece of art.

•       National Geographic ‒ Antarctica

It is a wonderful traveling to the coldest place on the planet ‒ Antarctica. Gigantic snow figures and penguins meet everyone who wants to immerse in the permafrost.

•       Frontline and NYU

The project turns people back to the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe in the town Pripyat.

All said above make people consider a future of reporting and its unbelievable possibilities. VR modernizations stimulate newsmen to create more interesting projects and demonstrate more captivating ideas.

How to create a perfect mobile AR app? An issue is quite interesting for everyone, who wants to be involved in the AR. A specialized sequence of actions can help to perform a job successfully and sensibly.

Analyzing possibilities of design instruments, experts should put their plans in order, choose a right medium for realization, observe all limitations, and identify client’s needs.

Knowledge Shift

The AR contains some specific features. One of them is knowledge shift. This means that people can have a chance to get a practice by using knowledge. In this connection, AR is the best environment for learning and practice. Speaking about a market future, AR suggests clients immerse in the AR application experience. A prerogative leads to the future success in the zone of AR competition.

Usability and restrictions

AR is a digital expansion of an output design. It is clear to assert, that clients haven’t already connected with the world even with physical restrictions. A technical knowledge lets them feel comfortable and powerful. But only some material limitations and technologies innovations can mix their capabilities in AR.

Content Patterns

A content representation has a significant part in the AR experience. There are 5 patterns of content, which can be used in AR:

•       Static (stable)
•       Animated (a timeline and a sequence)
•       3D (The XYZ data)
•       Dynamic (The interactions)
•       Procedural (The automatic and algorithm generation of the content)

All the patterns can be interconnected in a variety of ways.

Interactions

It is necessary to clear up a place and the approach of content processing in the discussion of AR details with stakeholders. To specify the content pattern, place (space, glass, object) and the content structure (stable, locked, changeable) are 3 significant criteria to understand the clients’ needs.

The brief observation of AR improvement hopefully helps everyone to get results they want to receive.
