Navigating New Beginnings: Developing a Location-Based Augmented Reality Game to Enhance Refugee Orientation and Integration
Abstract
Navigating New Beginnings is a location-based augmented reality (AR) game designed to revolutionize the resettlement integration process for refugees in Canada. By offering personalized support and information on essential aspects such as education, legal procedures, cultural resources, and more, the game assists refugees as they settle in Toronto. Extensive research has demonstrated the effectiveness of location-based AR games for educational purposes, emphasizing the need to assess their relevance and value in specific contexts. The ultimate objective is to explore the potential of using a location-based game to enhance the resettlement and integration experience for refugees, facilitating a smoother and more seamless process.
