MAR UX design principles for vocational training

Abstract

Current scientific research on MAR UX design does not address all facets of user experience in a holistic manner. It only covers usability, value, and desirability of the fundamental elements of UX. No known current published research considers the adoptability design principles of UX in MAR. To address this need, this Paper proposed UX design principles for MAR vocational training application and apply it to the design and development of AR4Juan. AR4Juan is an android based MAR vocational skills training application for Senior High School students specializing in Computer System Servicing National Competency (CSS NC) 2. CSS NC2 is under Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) track of the K12 education program in the Philippines. The researchers used MAR UX design principles research process to formulate the proposed UX Design principles. The study found out that other literature's design principles only focus on usefulness, usability, and desirability of UX elements and does not consider the adoptability element. Adoptability principles are essential in ensuring the application's natural users usage increase. Thus, drives business success. AR4Juan is still in its prototype stage and needs to be evaluated in every key UX element to determine the degree of its usefulness, ease of use, user enjoyment and engagement and ease of access. Other researchers could adopt the proposed UX designed principles and improve it iteratively after every evaluation of the MAR application.
