Creating the Inaugural Detailed Roadmap for Clear Project Direction

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There is a lack of clarity regarding the project's direction and key milestones. We're facing challenges in establishing a clear and effective progress structure.

Describe the Solution You'd Like

We need to develop a detailed Roadmap that clearly defines the project scope, major milestones, and development phases. This will provide a step-by-step guide to follow during the project development process.

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

We've considered creating a broad plan without a detailed structure, but this might lead to a lack of clarity and direction in the project. We also contemplated relying on a more flexible planning, but we believe a detailed Roadmap will be more beneficial for the team and project.

Additional Context

Our main goal is to ensure that everyone involved in the project clearly understands the goals, stages, and key timelines. This will help align expectations and provide a clear roadmap for the project to develop.

Todo List:

• [x] Define Objectives and Goals: Identify the overarching goals and objectives of the project. What is the aim to achieve, and what outcomes are expected?

• [x] Gather Requirements and Resources: List the necessary resources, including tools and technologies required to accomplish the project objectives.

• [x] Create a Timeline: Develop a rough timeline that outlines milestones, key deliverables, and deadlines.

• [x] Breakdown Tasks: Divide the project into smaller, manageable tasks. Ensuring each task aligns with the project's goals and vision.

• [x] Prioritize Tasks: Determine task dependencies and prioritize them based on critical paths. Identifying which tasks must be completed before others can start first.

• [x] Establish Milestones: Define specific checkpoints or milestones to track progress. These should be significant achievements within the project's timeline.

  • [x] Set Realistic Timelines: Ensure that the timeline is feasible and realistic. Consider potential risks and allocate buffer time for unforeseen challenges with a considerable error margin.

Key Notes:

• Keep it Visual: Visual aids like charts, graphs, or infographics can make the roadmap more understandable and accessible for everyone.
• Stay Agile: Adjustments will be needed. Flexibility and Adaptation are important.
• Regular Updates: Update the roadmap regularly as needed to reflect progress, changes, or any shifts in priorities.

What a chore! But it seems very critical. I'll look it up tomorrow.

Q: Define Objectives and Goals: Identify the overarching goals and objectives of the project. What is the aim to achieve, and what outcomes are expected?

A: After some research on requirements and other introductions i got to think that this project aims to empower developers by sharing basic to advanced resources for augmented reality development, generating an impact all over the world to ship projects and develop more into the extended reality (XR -> AR, VR, MR).

As starting point i can highlight some key points as Types of Extended Reality, Hardware Specific needs, Software Specific needs, Ar Development Tools & Libraries, AR Techniques, Limitations and Other Resources to generate an impact on the market.

Q: Gather Requirements and Resources: List the necessary resources, including tools and technologies required to accomplish the project objectives.

I've been considering composing the documentation using Markdown (.md) files via Obsidian. This choice primarily originates from Obsidian's ability to smooth the process by aiding in data linking. It greatly assists in understanding the data connections and identifying specific areas that need further work on (seriously), also markdown files are intuitive and easy to learn, and it can be easily ported to pdf or web.

Resources will primarily consist of documentation and open articles, I suppose. However, this heavily relies on the specific topic. It's important that each resource is endorsed by an organization or published by a reputable source, although there might be some exceptions and flexibility with online articles, they still require verification of their sources.

Also i18n is a problem tho, hmm....

[Domenic-MZS]

Current priorities are:

• Project Structure & Methodology
  • Language Workarounds Guide (for now)
  • Invite more people and enthusiasts
  • Introduction
  • Concepts
  • Fundamentals
  • Update the docs
  • Retrospective Analysis
  • Dive deeper on fundamental & concepts
  • Split XR categories with more advanced details
  • [ ... ] -> later stuff (diving deeper into more advanced topics)

[Domenic-MZS]

The timeline is approximately a month.

[Domenic-MZS]

First milestone will be:

Understanding XR and AR/VR/MR Concepts

• Research on XR Categories
• Identifying Use Cases
• Key Components of XR
• Understanding User Interaction

Key deliverables are:

• Quick overview document highlighting XR concepts, use cases, and key components.
• Use case summaries for AR, VR, and MR.
