Process & Analysis

RESEARCH
AR trend of 2022
Explore what other XR applications exist right now, and examined what is being offered in a wide range of industries. However most designs are based on an AR app and we realized that web AR cannot detect surfaces, and have many uncertainties in codes.

RESEARCH
Primary research - C level staff in our network
It was difficult to arrange time talking with c-level executives of KPMG, therefore we conducted the primary research with our network. We interviewed 2 past c-level executives to understand their interet, their focus point and knowledge towards SDG goals

ANALYSIS
