Case-study description

What is it?

Our project focuses on Ingress, a location-based AR game by Niantic that turns real-world landmarks into "portals" for gameplay. Players capture, link, and control these portals using GPS and real-world movement, creating an immersive blend of physical and virtual experiences.

What is its purpose?

• Encourage outdoor exploration and foster collaboration among players.

• Discover new locations.

• Engage in strategic decision-making.

• Work as a team to achieve faction-based goals.

Who is its main audience?

• Mobile gamers

• AR enthusiasts

• individuals who enjoy strategy-driven, team-based gameplay

Why do we choose it?

Through our experience with the game, we found it to be complex and cumbersome for a mobile game, particularly in terms of its world-building and interface guidance. With numerous interactive gameplay options, we wanted to explore whether its tutorials effectively support new players.
