Abstract
The study aims to explore how augmented reality can improve the outdoor running experience to
keep runners motivated and improve society's approach to combating the obesity epidemic today.
The goal was to create an outdoor running app and test the concepts of these ideas as if the
technology could support the app. After user testing, analyze test participant feedback and
improve the application. I interviewed eight participants to gain feedback from experienced
runners and then conducted live prototype user testing. The findings were met with enthusiastic
responses and valuable feedback from test participants aged 19 to 55. I have laid a solid
foundation for a new outdoor running app that uses augmented reality to keep runners motivated
for longer periods.
