Since we had to do a visual presentation, I went ahead and made some slides to make it easier for me during the presentation.

As my video walkthrough did not recorded the full compilation of the 8 planets and 1 quiz card. I "invited" my friend, Bear Bear to help me with this! 🐻😋

REFLECTION

Throughout the module experience, as mentioned in every single blogspot of the module that I was quite lost during the class session due to the "unexpected" condition like poor connection, limited storage and unity log in issue. Aside from the negative part, for the start of project ideation, I was just been inspired by a social media post that AR solar was very cool then I came out to this ideation.
Initially, I had no idea how the application should look or if I even had the ability to create it. I simply thought of it as a project for my future self to tackle
 (OK...looks like is the "now" me). 😶

During the prototype stage, I encountered panic and delays in submission as I took lots of time to explore the functionalities of Unity through YouTube and tutorial videos provided by Mr. Razif. The outcome of the prototype was not entirely satisfying, but I pushed forward to meet the minimum requirements as I not wished to jeopardise the GPA of my other modules due to my limitations with Unity. 
My mindset was to make it at least somewhat satisfactory. However, as I progressed to the final experience, I became more familiar with Unity's functionalities, making it easier to advance the features and enhance the application. The final outcome was quite different from the prototype, and I personally consider it of a better quality. Although there are still areas for improvement, such as the ability of AR zoom in and out, which I gave up after a 5 hours exploration but failed and change to the "save the moment" idea. 

Beyond the challenges, I realized that to create a successful application, one must have a deep understanding of its concept. For CelestAR, being an application about the solar system, I had to revisit and study concepts like rotation speed, planetary sequences, and other educational facts. It was a journey of recalling knowledge from my primary school days. After I recalled back the knowledge, I felt awkward for the misconception mentioned in the prototype about the planet nearest to the Sun having the fastest rotation?? 💦 HAHA. Overall, I am grateful and satisfied with the outcome of CelestAR. Despite the challenges and limitations, I am proud of the progress I made and It definitely had become one of my highlighted projects this semester! 🌍✌️
