MARIA NEUREITHER
Media & UX Designer
Welcome to my Portfolio. I’m thrilled to invite you to persue my past work, design skills, and professional experience, and get to know a bit more about me. While studying game design at MD.H, Munich, I was able to learn about the various departments needed for media projects. I've got the most out of these experiences, when I operated as an assistance producer for ENDI's iOS game prototype "Draw Cowboy".
Since July 2016 I work as UX Designer and enhanced my skills in Design Thinking and User-centered Design. Keep patience, I am working on presenting UX work on this site as soon as possible.
But now the fun part: have a look at my work. Hope you enjoy!
GAME & MEDIA PROJECTS
I am pleased about your visit at my website. Below you can have a look on my showcase of my work so far.
MYARTALE (WT)
AR Toy (ongoing prototyping)
MyARtale is an Augmented Reality App which enables kids of the age of six to twelve years to create their own storybook with AR fairytale objects. Currently my friend and I are prototyping the basics of this award-winning concept: AR characters via tracker and changing the poses and mimics. Please have a look at the pictures to get a glimpse of the planned gameplay and UI. Next step after finishing prototype: user test with kids and study their play behaviour with AR content.
