Dream Adventure: Healing Spirit

This is an Augmented Reality game related to Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander People addressing their ongoing low levels of social emotional well-being (SEWB). The target users are Aboriginal elementary school children aged 7 to 12. We aim to close the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities starting at the youngest age group.

WHAT IS SEWB?



Social Emotional Wellbeing for Aboriginal People is beyond physical and mental health. This encompasses more holistic understanding including physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects. The figures below shows these aspects of SEWB that are important to Aboriginal communities.



OUR INSIGHTS

During the early stages of the project, I took on the major task of gathering and summarizing information. Through extensive ethnographic research and literature reviews, I concluded that one of the most effective ways to enhance the social and emotional well-being of the Aboriginal community is to focus on the children’s group.

Starting with the children, addressing psychological traumas, and establishing essential aspects like self-identity and cultural connections can help them better manage future challenges. This approach not only makes these challenges more controllable but also helps to narrow the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities.

OUR DESIGN PRINCIPLES


*our team has established six design principles that we consider to be fundamental:


  INCLUSIVE      ENGAGING  CULTURAL-RELAVANCE  ACCESSIBLE      FEASIBLE         USEFUL

OUR DESIGN APPROACH


*our team combines and implements innovation design and interaction design methodology to advance the project rationally. We followed four stages of The Double Diamond design process to continue this project.
