# Introduction to bootcamp 2

The primary aim of bootcamp 2 is to provide ideas on how to get started with your own group projects. In this bootcamp, you will ideate some ideas for project briefs - although you will later decide in your own groups what you want to do. You will also explore different data pipelines and then undertake a rapid design challenge to design an adaptable interface.

As a reminder, here is a summary of the project brief:
> The overall goal is to ideate, prototype and test UX (and usability) of AR, VR or chatbot interface to an intelligent system.

Some examples that could fit the brief include:

**Augmented Reality (AR) Navigation in a Smart City**: An AR-based navigation system for smart cities that intelligently analyses real-time traffic data, public transportation schedules, and user preferences to provide optimal routes. Users interact through a combination of AR glasses and voice-based commands. **Intelligence**: intelligence is supported by realy-time data integration through traffic cameras, public transport APIs and crowd-sourced data from the public. The system can offer **personalised** suggestions on routes that fit user preferences. It uses machine-learning to predict traffic and other events, based on the data.

**Chatbot Interface for Home Automation**: A chatbot interface integrated into a smart home system, allowing users to interact with and control various devices and services using natural language. **Intelligence**: Over time, the chatbot learns user preferences and adjusts automation settings accordingly. For example, it may anticipate when users typically adjust thermostat settings or turn on/off lights.

**Virtual Reality (VR) Energy Management**: a VR interface for a smart energy system that provides a three-dimensional representation of energy consumption patterns within a building or across a city. For example, a user might be able to enter a 3D version of their home and interact with it by turning lights and appliances on and off. **Intelligence**: the VR system continuously collects and processes real-time data from smart meters, sensors, and IoT devices to visualize current energy consumption. Users can simulate changes in energy usage, appliance efficiency, or renewable energy contributions within the VR environment to understand the potential impact on energy consumption and costs.
