Research study to prototype and test the efficacy of data-driven AR content creation in relation to human emotion and social impact.

“Go Jauntly是一款屡获殊荣的适合家庭使用的步行应用程序。我们希望研究和试验一款增强现实（AR）原型，将有关我们城市的数据和内容带入生活，以帮助人们以新的方式与他们的环境和周围环境联系起来。目前，我们通过使用图像和一口大小的事实和信息，为人们提供了在城市中发现散步和享受的地点以及户外活动的方法。用户可以记录自己的步行路线，与我们不断增长的社区分享，并与家人和朋友分享户外冒险。自2017年圣诞节以来，我们的下载量增长了6000%，并被评为全球五大生活方式应用之一。现在，我们希望通过我们对城市步行的深入了解，为家庭创造一种增强的、有趣的体验，让他们更多地了解周围的自然。我们的原型将结合联合收割机AR、开放数据集以及我们自己策划和众包的内容。我们希望这项可行性研究将揭示这种方法改变行为的潜力。我们将进行一系列实验，以帮助我们探索技术如何引导人类行为，以及它如何塑造我们与自然的关系，特别是在儿童中。这将涉及测试，以了解家庭如何在不同的环境和不同的心态下与不同的特征互动。我们的研究结果将帮助我们了解AR是否可以支持成人和儿童欣赏环境，解释及其对自然和生物多样性的影响。技术和设计是创意产业的一个不断增长的部门，新的研究指出，自然连通性与年龄和每周拍摄的自然照片呈正相关，与自拍和智能手机使用时间呈负相关。在这项研究的主要作者Miles Richardson博士的建议下，我们希望更多地了解AR内容如何改善我们的生活并重新吸引我们。因此，我们测试的最后阶段将探索如何利用我们的发现与其他组织合作，通过创造新技术来增加社会的积极变化。"

"Go Jauntly is an award-winning family-friendly walking app. We would like to research and experiment with an Augmented Reality (AR) prototype that will bring to life data and content about our cities with a view to helping people connect with their environment and surroundings in new ways. Currently we provide ways for people to discover walks and locations to enjoy in the city as well as the great outdoors by using imagery and bite-sized facts and information. Users can document their own walking routes to share with our growing community and share outdoor adventures with family and friends. We have seen a 6000% increase in downloads since Christmas 2017 and have been voted one of the top 5 lifestyle apps on the world. We now wish to create an enhanced, playful experience for families to walk and learn more about the nature around them by building upon our in-depth knowledge of walking in cities.Our prototype will combine AR, open data sets as well as our own curated and crowdsourced content. We hope that this feasibility study will uncover the approaches potential to change behaviours. We will be running a series of experiments to help us to explore how technology can steer human behaviour and how it shapes our relationship with nature, particularly in children. This will involve tests to see how families interact with different features in different settings and with different mindsets. Our findings will help us to understand whether AR can support adults and children alike in their appreciation of the environment, interpretation and its effects on nature and biodiversity.Technology and design for good is a growing sector of the creative industries and new research has pointed to nature connectedness being 'positively related to age and nature pictures taken per week, and negatively related to selfie-taking and smartphone usage times'. Whilst being advised by Dr Miles Richardson, the lead author of this research, we are hoping to find out more about how AR content can improve our lives and re-engage us. Therefore, the last stage of our testing will explore how we can use our findings to collaborate with other organisations to increase positive changes in society through the creation of new technology for good."
