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.
