AR Field Advisor 
AR FieldAdvisor is a spatial computing solution for remote field service. AR FieldAdvisor enables a new level of remote support for the field industry. Field engineers can collaborate with remote experts using mobile AR or a hands-free alternative of N-real Light AR glasses connected to a mobile device with the Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile platform.​​​​​​​

To get a better sense of the mixture of media (mobile and space), mobile AR prototypes were created in Adobe Aero and wiARframe. 
User Flow for AR glasses integration: the transition of Mobile AR workflow to Nreal light AR glasses requires an easy-to-understand user flow that is comprehensible both by the dev and design. The flowchart below displays the complete path the user shall take to use AR FieldAdvisor's hands-free version.
The first flow lays out the user's movement throughout the product and maps out each step. The second flowchart intends to depict where 3D/2D/animation shall be placed and it helps the designer to plan for creating those assets. 
VR Prototyping using XR Collaboration Tools
To create a real-life scenario pen and paper are not enough in the case of spatial applications. There are various Spatial (XR) prototyping tools such as MS Maquette and Tvori which are PC-based and require VR-ready systems. When the team does not have a VR-ready system available, a designer should compromise create prototypes, and generate ideas using available tools. I created spatial scenarios using the XR collaboration tool called Spatial.io It was easier for the customer and dev team to understand the design concept, and test the ergonomics of the app (how comfortable it is to use AR glasses while working).
