Goal
Design an AR-based system to support spatial memory and object-finding in indoor environments.
Recall AR
An AR memory support tool for navigation and object-finding.
Recall AR is a research-driven augmented reality prototype designed to support spatial memory and navigation for individuals experiencing early-stage cognitive decline. Built for the Meta Quest 3 using passthrough mixed reality, the system explores how multimodal cues such as visual arrows and audio guidance can assist users in locating everyday objects within real-world indoor environments. The project combines principles of accessibility, spatial interaction design, and cognitive support to investigate how AR can act as an assistive layer rather than a disruptive interface.

Challenge
Users with cognitive decline struggle with spatial recall and locating everyday objects, while existing tools are not designed for their needs. The system required clear yet non-intrusive cues, balancing visual, audio, and spatial interaction without increasing cognitive load.
3 /
Outcome
Designed a multimodal navigation system using visual arrows and audio cues to guide users step-by-step. Evaluated with older adults to assess usability and cognitive load, resulting in a research-driven prototype exploring AR as a memory support tool.
