Abstract
This paper describes the sustainability design process of a mobile augmented reality (MAR) application called AudioNear. Through a four-step process and a dedicated workshop with developers, the Sustainability Awareness Framework (SusAF) is applied to capture and connect sustainability issues into dimensions and levels of effects. Among twenty sustainability issues in MAR applications, eight functional issues that are essential to creating a sustainable MAR travel guide experience were identified and developed for AudioNear. First, a comprehensive list of design suggestions was formulated to facilitate sustainability design in MAR applications. Then, high-fidelity mock-ups of AudioNear were developed based on design suggestions, indicating promising results in terms of the sustainability design process. This work contributes to the field of sustainability design and MAR.
