Featured Projects
When a person goes missing, the ability to quickly canvas a large area is crucial. However, many search and rescue missions occur in rough terrain where it can be difficult, slow, and even dangerous to cover on foot. Drones have become a cost- and time-effective solution, able to quickly fly over areas of interest and provide a video feed from a mounted camera. A pilot and spotter monitor the video feed through an app on a tablet or phone and watch for clues which might indicate where the missing person is located. |

Our project on the human rights of Indian farmers. It is estimated that more than a quarter of a million Indian farmers have committed suicide in the last 16 years—the largest wave of recorded suicides in human history. By immersing the user in a rural farm in India, our goal is to foster understanding reinforced by dramatically motivated actions to express the dire living conditions and desperation of the farmers and their families. |
