Link AR
Link AR is a prototype that integrates augmented reality. The idea was inspired by experiences at career fairs or networking events, particularly in the tech industry, where people often struggle to start meaningful conversations with recruiters or miss the chance to build connections due to time constraints. To address this, I created Link AR, which provides people with insights into the recruiter or the person they wish to connect with, including their background, shared interests for easy conversation starters, and a compatibility percentage based on a work compatibility test. This helps users feel more confident when making connections during the event or allows them to follow up with recruiters afterward.

Honest Feedback from Users
Career fairs are always crowded, and after waiting a long time to speak with a recruiter, I felt rushed and struggled to figure out what to say to them.
Participant 1
Student
I get very nervous at networking events and career fairs. I have a hard time knowing how to approach people.
Participant 2
Student
By the time I got to the booth, the recruiter was already running behind and didn’t have time to have a proper conversation. It felt like I was just one more person in line, and I didn’t have enough time to make a meaningful connection
Participant 3
Graduate
During networking events, I usually grab business cards. When I look at the cards, they don't really give me much detail about the person beyond their name, company, and email.
Participant 4
Student
I usually have a elevator pitch ready for networking events. My conversations feel more formal than genuine. I want a way to make a real impression and stand out when building connections.

Ideating Potential Pages & Features
Ideating Potential Pages & Features
I started sketching multiple concepts for potential pages, exploring different layouts and structures. Before finalizing my designs, I brainstormed key elements, including the essential pages, user-beneficial features, and AR integrations that could enhance the experience. My focus was on creating a simple yet visually engaging interface that balances functionality with aesthetics. The sketches below represent my final selections, refined to ensure clarity, usability, and an intuitive user flow.

I incorporated a range of colors into my user interface to improve visual hierarchy, accessibility, and readability, while keeping the design vibrant without overwhelming the user. My goal was to maintain a consistent, clean look throughout the entire interface.

I was able to develop a clean, intuitive, and user-friendly interface. To validate its effectiveness, I tested the interface with a group of participants. Their feedback was overwhelmingly positive, as they appreciated the simplicity, ease of navigation, and the overall aesthetic of the design. The interface resonated well with users.
