Prioritisation

How anything gets onto this list

Three questions, in order. If a request fails the first one it does not reach the second, no matter how often it is asked.

  1. Question 1

    Does it help a student understand something faster? Not “is it impressive” — the AR is already impressive and that stopped being the point in week two.

  2. Question 2

    Does it work on hardware students already own? Anything that requires a purchase order is a different product.

  3. Question 3

    Can we hold 60 fps and the privacy line? Both are load-bearing. Neither gets traded for a feature.

Asked for, and declined

Being explicit about what we are not building saves everyone time.

Leaderboards between students

Ranking a cohort publicly punishes the students the tool exists to help. Streaks and badges are private for the same reason.

Proctored, graded assessment

That would require identity verification and session monitoring — a surveillance posture incompatible with the privacy promise.

Cloud rendering of the workbench

It would let older phones run richer scenes, and it would mean streaming camera pose to a server. Not worth it.

A web version of the AR session

WebXR tracking quality is not close enough yet. The browser prototype covers evaluation; the lesson needs the native runtime.

Something missing?

Requests from teaching staff carry the most weight, especially with a concrete lesson attached.
