Sharing the KnowledgeThis project centers on the potential for improving literacy in under-developed regions. This is explored through low-tech social interactions, ones that enable collaborative creation & understanding of learning content. A selection for the CHI 2011 Student Design Competition.
Small World e-ReaderAn e-reader concept that derives its functionality by collating different content groups of the reader’s choosing, and applies the reader’s habits and preferences when parsing a personal information feed.
Indoor OutdoorsIn this ironic characterization of a future world, people will be forced to live in windowless pod-like domiciles. My product is a portable window frame that projects sentimental views onto those blank walls, reminding people of better days.
Justin & Dustin: RoommatesMy roommate and I barely knew one another. That is, until I documented (in various ways) us toiling away at our respective workspaces. I made a book documenting those traces and what we found out about one another.
CHI Poster CompetitionProject partner Zhengxin (Ina) Xi and I traveled to Vancouver to present our Sharing the Knowledge project at the CHI Conference’s Student Design Competition.
Go Fish!This project is about integrating the use of media with the physical world. I created a game where the player can use a fishing rod to catch people on screen and try to reel them in.
The Theatre of Press & PoliticsIn the spirit of creating a new way of reading, I devised a taxonomy that edited down a singular unscripted moment during a 2009 Obama speech, and then layered into that the resulting media response with this tactile and interactive construction.
