Featured Projects

The Spring 2016 television miniseries, The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, captured imaginations and stirred memories. The series was based on the murder trial of football legend OJ Simpson and the resulting media circus. While watching, either viewer was remembering the events of the trial or enjoying the show's fictionalized narrative since they were too young or born after the trial.
Asthma-nauts is a tablet based gamified interactive experience that seeks to engage and educate pediatric Asthma patients and their parents in Hospital Emergency Departments about management and control of the disease. The child is an Asthma-naut(astronaut) who explores an AR universe using a jetpack called the lung machine. Each planet is a module where the child learns about Asthma, it’s triggers, symptoms and treatment through educational videos. The lung machine is powered by knowledge, motivating the child to learn about Asthma to progress through the experience.
During our research, we found out that only one-third of people finish their physical therapy due to reasons such as money and commute issues. Our team will be creating an accessible and affordable way to help people with chronic pain by exploring a physiotherapy intervention that users could access within the comfort of their homes. Our solution will engage people in a fun and innovative way. The aim is to also motivate users to continue their exercises, even after they feel better.
