Final Product: Prototype Video
Challenge: The Meta Bridge Builders program is an invitational 8-week program that pairs Meta/Facebook Content Designers with participants who are interested in learning about the design discipline at Meta/Facebook. Because I specialize in Conversation Design (CxD), my mentor was a Conversation Designer from Facebook Reality Labs.
We met once a week, and I was invited to attend additional Meta discussions and design talks.
Because CxD at Meta tends to be at the center of multimodal experiences, for my final presentation, I designed an AR experience imagining the future of Ray-Ban Stories.

RayBan Stories are able to show video and audio in the currently released iteration. I've recently been experimenting with the Oculus Quest. The applications for VR and AR are huge and pose so many possibilities. I wondered about the possibility of adding AR/VR to RayBan Stories, and what it would mean to be in the 'real world' with a digital overlay. I was interested in how this could make lonely or boring experiences more interesting and engaging. How can AR and VR be applied so that it provides both functional, practical help, but also create delight?
Where's a good liminal space to engage with people? The grocery store!
A few highlights from my research.
