Case Study
Overview
During a 2-week sprint with limited documentation time at CGI, I took an AR urban development concept from zero screens to a defined product direction. The problem was straightforward: construction projects are invisible to the communities they affect until it's too late to engage. The sprint produced core user flows, high-fidelity mockups, and a clear visual direction for a product that didn't exist yet.
Role: UI/UX design, concept refinement (internship)
Scope: Concept-to-mockups · 2-week sprint
Opportunity: Make invisible urban development visible before construction begins.
Impact: Translated an abstract concept into actionable design artifacts and visual direction.
The entry point lives in the physical world. Pointing a camera at a QR code on a construction site triggers the experience instantly, overlaying a 3D rendering of the future building on the physical site in real time. An info card surfaces from the bottom simultaneously, accessible without interrupting the AR view.
One unresolved constraint: text legibility in variable lighting. White text readable in shade disappears against a bright sky, something scoped as a next step.
