A1. Context exploration and mapping
Overview
This task requires each student to individually conduct research into interactive wayfinding, guided Project design brief (https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/61353/pages/design-brief-major-design-p
Individually, you will:
1. conduct secondary/desk research to explore the broad project context of interactive wayfinding
2. propose a potential project area for improving interactive wayfinding
3. develop an initial research plan for gathering primary, human-centred data from students
4. conduct primary research using your initial research plan
Once this assignment has been completed, it will form. part of your project group's collective resea inform. the design solution for the Major Project.
Timeline
It is important to attend lectures and tutorials to fully understand this assignment and its connectio thinking process.
Secondary research will be conducted during Week 2 tutorials and in your own time, using literatur internet searches. Broad areas you could research include, but are not limited to, existing internatio campus wayfinding, mobile wayfinding, hybrid wayfinding and AR wayfinding.
Secondary research data will be documented using visual note taking and mapping. Templates wil partially completed in tutorials. From the secondary data you will propose a potential project area f interactive wayfinding.
Initial research plans will be drafted during Week 3 tutorials and in your own time. Templates will be partially completed in tutorials.
Primary research will be conducted using interviews in Weeks 3 & 4, during tutorials and in your ow student will conduct three interviews. Support for conducting interview will be provided in tutorials forms will be supplied.

You will be practising visual note taking skills such as sketching and mapping during tutorials befor Additionally, you will not be marked on the artistic quality of your visual note taking as this task is n ability to draw. Rather, it is assessing your ability to combine text and graphic elements to commun insights into interactive wayfinding.
