AR WORLD
NuVu Design Sprint
Sprint Brief
Welcome to Planet AR!
Start by choosing a real place in Riyadh. Then imagine how this place could look by 2030 by overlaying future elements onto the world as it exists today, inspired by Vision 2030 and focused on sustainability, innovation, or quality of life.
Using Assemblr, you will create a simple 3D scene by assembling digital components like 3D assets, images, videos, or interactive elements. When viewed in AR, your project will reveal how the future blends into the present.
WHAT WE ARE DOING
WHY WE ARE DOING IT
Create a simple AR scene by overlaying future ideas onto a real-world location using Assemblr.
Build creativity and digital skills, and explore how innovation can improve life by 2030.
Final Project Expectations
The project shows a real place with meaningful future ideas added on top, inspired by Vision 2030.
The Assemblr scene is finished and easy to explore in AR, using 3D objects, images, or simple interactions in a clear way.

60 mins
Research Vision 2030 and find future ideas about sustainability, innovation, or quality of life. Then pick a real place and collect references, images, and ideas that could inspire future layers for that location.
Plan your AR scene by sketching your ideas over your real location photo. Think about what exists today and what future elements you want to add, where they appear, and how they change the space.

Move to Assemblr and start building your scene. Use 3D assets, images, videos, and interactions to bring your future overlay to life. You may also create simple 3D models using Tinkercad or find appropriate models online.
Refine your AR scene by adjusting scale, placement, and interactions. Test the experience in AR and make final improvements.

Sketching in design thinking is a quick and visual way to explore, communicate, and develop ideas. It helps designers think through problems, test concepts, and share their thoughts with others—without needing polished drawings. Sketches can be rough, but they’re powerful tools for brainstorming, prototyping, and collaboration.
