Overview
The main goal of "AR Accessibility Patrol" is to motivate users to collaborate in city planning by visualising the participation process and results and using AR technology to visually mark unfriendly public space barriers in the real world. This allows users to build wheelchair maps, help identify accessibility problems, cultivate a sense of identity and collaboration, and strengthen citizens' rights awareness.

Background
The debate on public space, led by philosophers like Henri Lefebvre, argues that space is actively produced by society rather than just a physical place. Iris Young emphasizes that socially just outcomes require inclusive spaces that reflect the needs of diverse citizens, who assert their right to the city by becoming visible in public space (Németh, 2006).

As the global population of those aged 65 and over grows rapidly, the need for accessible public spaces becomes increasingly urgent. Older adults are often more sensitive to safety concerns, which can limit their outdoor activities. To ensure everyone can participate in social life as independent, equal individuals, urban spaces must be accessible to all.

As the world ages, the need for accessible public spaces is becoming increasingly urgent, particularly in older communities. Accessibility is a concern for everyone, as disability—whether temporary or permanent—affects us all at some point. From pregnant women and elderly individuals to tourists and delivery workers, many people face mobility challenges. Wheelchair users, in particular, often struggle with finding accessible routes due to inaccurate maps and uncertainty. Their families, friends, and advocates want to help but lack a user-friendly platform to do so. Innovative solutions are needed to address these challenges.

Final Solution
Through continuous discussion and experimentation, the name of the game was finally decided to be "AR Accessibility Patrol".
The goal of the first phase is to simplify the game mechanics, run it as a minimal model, and test its feasibility directly through the exploration mode.
This solution combines AR technology, social interaction, and the concept of city improvement and is designed to inspire player engagement and raise awareness about the inclusiveness of cities.
