Challenge

Designing Good Vibes AR posed unique challenges:

  1. Balancing the app's fun and interactive elements with its practical, transactional features.
  2. Integrating NFT technology within the AR experience without compromising user-friendliness.
  3. We needed to create a dual-interface — one for the users to browse and purchase and another for the store administrators and couriers.
  4. The presentation of an extensive catalog of cannabis strains required a user-friendly interface for smooth navigation.
  5. We had to create a reliable and intuitive order management system for the stores.

Approach

  1. We delved into extensive market research to understand the expectations and preferences of our target users - cannabis enthusiasts intrigued by the NFT and AR technologies.
  2. We incorporated best practices from both e-commerce and gaming applications to create a unified, intuitive user experience.
  3. We designed the NFT and AR experience to be visually appealing, interactive, and user-friendly, ensuring the NFT collecting process feels rewarding and fun.
  4. For the transactional aspect, we focused on creating a straightforward and secure process, integrating trust signals and transparent information at every step.

Research and Analysis

    • User Surveys: We conducted surveys to understand potential users' attitudes towards cannabis, NFTs, AR, and delivery services.
    • Competitive Analysis: We analyzed similar applications in the cannabis and AR gaming markets to identify best practices and potential areas for innovation.
    • User Testing: We performed user testing at different development stages to collect feedback and make necessary adjustments, ensuring the final design meets user needs and expectations.

    Problem

    Result

    Users found the sheer number of weed strains and products overwhelming and difficult to navigate.
    We developed a structured catalog with a minimalistic design that divides products by categories. Detailed filters help users narrow down their options based on specific preferences like strain type, effects, and THC/CBD content.
    Users had a hard time understanding the properties and effects of different strains.
    The AR feature enables users to interact with 3D NFTs of each strain, providing an immersive way to learn about its properties, effects, and history. This visual and interactive form of education makes the learning process enjoyable and memorable.
    Users didn't fully understand the value of the 3D NFTs related to different weed strains.
    We developed an AR experience that lets users interact with the 3D NFTs, enhancing their perceived value.
    Users were unsure about the status of their orders and when they would receive them.
    We introduced a feature for users to track their delivery in real time, giving them peace of mind.
    The transition from standard browsing to AR viewing was not smooth.
    We incorporated the AR feature directly within the product browsing flow, creating a seamless and intuitive user experience.
