Featured Projects

The Nigerian film industry colloquially known as Nollywood is enormous, innovative, and digital. We are working to extend its capacities with new media technologies such as games, mobile and social media. In addition, we are developing social messaging campaigns within Nollywood films in particular around health issues. Come see emerging technologies and film content, including the feature length Nollywood film we produced and are premiering.
We propose a general framework for character self-dressing interactions with simulated clothing. We show that by breaking the process of dressing into sub goals, we can design specific action controllers which, when combined allow a character to put on a garment via a user defined style.
"Our Driverless Futures" is a web-based interactive narrative that critically examines the ethical implications of self-driving cars. In public and scholarly discourse, self-driving cars are often positioned as safer and more efficient transportation alternatives, with one prominent debate remaining in their programming: how should they react in an inevitable fatal accident, and whose lives should they prioritize to save? However, this focus on "kill decisions" has limited the terms of discourse to utilitarian ethics and normative classifications of people.
