DMA217 Proj. 3

  • I had learned how to use Figma to manage overlays with video files
  • This was not easy, as the process which to set up the overlays to work together is tedious.
  • The challenge came from trying to understand the process itself, as managing overlays in other programs requires a “appear on timestamp” and “disappear on timestamp” in the same option. Figma does not have this.
  • Perhaps if the functionality “open overlay” and “close overlay” could be improved, I would be able to seamlessly switch the frames of each text block to keep from stacking them on the same screen
  • I advise using a different program to emulate augmented reality, as Figma makes the process needlessly confusing compared to other options
  • I would understand the value of having proper placement of text and frames to emulate a similar AR experience
  • A specific example in class gave me a clearer idea or goal for what my project should look like
