Initial Graphics and "Theory"

I have designed some boxes to use for the application, I am keeping them the logo colours of the app, to keep the corporate design of the "company". I want to maximise visibility but not take up the whole screen or divert wholly from the camera image. I have designed bright and dim coloured boxes, I feel the dimmer boxes work best with bright text on them. I initially thought that bold text would stand out best but I have now found that large narrow text actually works best as its easier to read from a distance.
I think my favorite of these is the third though I may still change it if I think of anything better.









Whilst my AR app isn't actually going to be designed I am going to include some theory about how the application could work if someone had the funds and infrastructure to make it so.



The image above is a mock up I have made to show how the vehicle tracking could work. The bus would have a GPS tracker which is tracked by satellite, its location is continuously fed via GPRS and the companies secure server to the application on your mobile or accessed through your online account from your home PC. This would save on waiting at a bus stop for a bus to arrive, simply wait at home until the bus comes to you!
I feel technology like this would vastly increase the amount of people using buses and help remove the stereotype of waiting hours in the rain for the bus or train.
