Sprint Brief
Welcome to Planet AR!
You will select a small-scale urban element, such as street furniture, and reimagine how it could evolve by 2030.
Inspired by sustainability, innovation, and quality of life, you will use AI-powered tools and Tinkercad to turn your sketches into 3D models, test and refine your ideas through rapid prototyping, and bring your future design to life through an immersive AR experience.
WHAT WE ARE DOING
WHY WE ARE DOING IT
Create a simple AR model of your future design and overlay it onto a real-world location to visualize how it would look and function in context.
Build creativity and digital skills, and explore how innovation can improve life by 2030.
Final Project Expectations
The project shows a real place with meaningful future ideas added on top, inspired by Vision 2030.

Sketching
Research & Idea Building
Research Vision 2030 and find future ideas about sustainability, innovation, or quality of life. Then pick a real place and collect references, images, and ideas that could inspire future layers for that location.
Brainstorm ideas for future design by sketching your ideas over your real location photo. Think about what exists today and what future elements you want to add.
3D Modeling
Use Ai Tools to visualize your idea and turn it into a 3D Design using Tinkercad or AI Meshy
Bring your project to Delightex for testing
AR Testing
Present your AR project to others by explaining your idea and how it connects to the future. Display your work with a QR code so viewers can scan it and experience your scene in augmented reality.

The design process will include the following steps:
THE PROCESS
Session 1
60mins
Session 2
60mins
Session 3-4
120 mins
Session 5
60 mins
Session 6
60 mins
A precedent is a real-world example or project that you can research to better understand ideas related to your work.
ACTIVITY MATERIALS
Session 1-2
Look at Vision 2030 ideas (future cities, sustainability, technology, quality of life). [toolbox]. Select one location.
Research & Idea Building
1.1
Parks / Green Spaces
Coastline or Waterfront
Public Transportation Hub
Major Road or Intersection
Town Square or Plaza
Schools
Sports Court
Financial District Street
Cultural sites
Choose one real-world place
(school, street, park, hospital, mall, bus stop) from the previous location.
Within this place:
- Choose one small/medium-scale urban element. (Bench to small building size)
- Save an image of this element and print and image of it
Research & Idea Building
1.2
Sketching in design thinking is a quick and visual way to explore, communicate, and develop ideas. It helps designers think through problems, test concepts, and share their thoughts with others—without needing polished drawings. Sketches can be rough, but they’re powerful tools for brainstorming, prototyping, and collaboration.
Sketching & Collage
2nd
You are a future designer in the year 2030. Your mission is to imagine how a current element in the city could become better, smarter, and more sustainable in the future.
Sketching & Collage
2nd
Sketch 3 different design for your element before choosing one.
- Start with the overall shape — don’t worry about details yet.
- Think about the user: Who will use it and how?
- Show how it works: Add moving parts, technology, storage, shade, lighting, etc.
- Think about the future: What makes your design better than what exists today?
- Add labels and arrows to explain important features.
- Consider size and scale: Make sure a person could realistically use it (draw human figure for scale)
Choose your strongest idea to develop into your 3D model.
Make sure to include scale and context in your sketch so we can understand how big your design is, where it belongs, and how people will interact with it.
You could draw a storyboard to show how someone approaches, uses, and interacts with your design.
Import your sketch into an AI tool to visualize how your idea could look in the real world.
Prototyping is the process of turning your sketches and ideas into models that you can test and improve.
ACTIVITY MATERIALS
Sketchbook
We will require a Laptop in all sessions for research, 3d modeling and AR Testing
Marker & Pencil
Ipad or Phone to view work in AR
Session 3-4
3D Modeling
3rd
Create Your 3D Model
Choose one of two options to turn your idea into a 3D model:
- Option 1: AI with Meshy [toolbox]
Upload your sketch or AI visualization into Meshy and use AI to generate a 3D model. Refine the result until it matches your idea.
- Option 2: Build with Tinkercad [toolbox]
Use your sketch as a reference and build your design from scratch in Tinkercad, combining and modifying 3D shapes to bring your idea to life.
AR Creation
3.2
- Export your 3D model from Tinkercad or Meshy.
- Use STL, OBJ, GLTF/GLB, or FBX. Delightex currently supports these 3D formats.
- Open Delightex Edu and create a new Project.
- Go to Upload and import your 3D model.
- Drag your model into the scene and adjust its:
- Scale • Rotation • Position
- Add a simple environment or context so we understand where your design belongs.
- Open your project on the Delightex Edu mobile app and switch to AR mode.
- Place your design in the real-world location and move around it to see how it looks at full scale.
- Take a screenshot or record a short video showing your future design in AR.
- Click Export in the top-right corner.
- Under For 3D Print, look for GLB.
- Click GLB to export the model.
- The .glb file will save to your computer and can then be imported into AR/3D platforms.
Click on upload, wait for the model to load. Drag and drop the model into your scene.
- Open the CoSpaces Edu app on your phone or iPad.
- Log in to the same account you used on your computer. Open your project.
- Tap Play. Select AR Mode.
- Point your camera at a flat surface.
- Move around and explore your 3D design in the real world!
AR Viewing
3.3
Final Exhibition is when you display all your work done the sprint. Present what work and didn't worked!
ACTIVITY MATERIALS
Session 5-6
Ipad or Phone for AR testing
Generate a QR code that you can share to the audience ( you will need to have Delightex on phones to scan and view the QR code)
Checklist:
