To set out an accurate cost calculation we researched average wages, software license costs and discussed with our client.
In the end we are looking at several types of costs:
- Wages
- Voice acting
- Hardware (tablet) rental
- Licensing (music & software)
- Outsourcing (script writing & QA, AR pillar creation, translation)
All of these posts combined with their estimated costs would then result in the table below. It is truly fascinating to see what a simple semester long project like this already costs. Especially on the wage side of things, seeing as that is the highest cost by far it seems beneficial to do a project in this way.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Junior development team of 6 working 480 hours | 480 hours * €22,5 * 6 people = €64,800 |
| AR-marker pillars | €5000 |
| Hardware (tablet) rental 1 year | €39 * 12 = 468 |
| Software licenses | €5571 |
| Music licenses | €1500 |
| Voice acting | €3500 |
| Script writing & QA | €3500 |
