Intro
MeDT is a cutting-edge project that seeks to create a digital twin of a microchip factory. By leveraging both live and historical data, the advanced visualization technology provides operations personnel with a unique and intuitive way to monitor the state of the plant and tools in real-time. This allows for more effective capacity planning and optimization, as well as improved overall efficiency. With a dynamic and highly responsive interface, MeDT represents the latest in digital twin technology and provides a powerful tool for factory managers and operators alike. By giving them the ability to visualize the inner workings of the plant and tools, MeDT empowers them to make data-driven decisions and optimize production processes like never before. The MeDT project is a game-changer in the microchip industry, and promises to revolutionize the way factories are designed and operated in the future.

Process

MY ROLE

As the lead UI designer for the digital twin dashboard, I am responsible for creating an intuitive and visually appealing user interface. This project, which received a significant national investment through the U.S. Department of Commerce's Build Back Better Regional Challenge, aims to develop digital replications of real-world objects or systems to test and refine ideas before production. I will design the dashboard interface that allows planners, tool engineers, and process engineers the ability to manipulate and analyze data from the digital twin of a microchip manufacturing plant.

PRODUCT

The project aims to create a digital twin of a microchip factory, leveraging tool sensor data to predict and analyze tool performance throughout the production process. By developing a digital representation of the factory, the project will enable the optimization of production flow and chip output. The digital twin will provide insights into historic, current, and future tool performance, allowing for data-driven decision-making and process improvements. Ultimately, this project seeks to enhance efficiency and productivity in microchip manufacturing through the utilization of advanced simulation and predictive analytics.

Water's Journey Through the Everglades

Informal Education
 / 
 / 
"Water's Journey through the Everglades" project was an ambitious undertaking that aimed to provide visitors with an immersive and educational experience focused on the unique ecology of the Everglades. Ten exhibits were created using a range of emerging technologies, including mixed reality, interactive touch displays, multimedia projections, and hands-on activities, to educate visitors about the importance of this fragile ecosystem, and the ways in which human activity has impacted it over time. Visitors were able to explore the diverse plant and animal life of the Everglades, and to learn about the ways in which water moves through the ecosystem, from rainfall to runoff to groundwater recharge.

Incident Command Simulator

High-Risk Training
 / 
 / 
The Incident Command Simulator places student firefighters into a dynamic virtual environment where their skills can be evaluated. Instructor operators, at a separate station, are able to update the scenario in real time and control virtual avatars that work with the Incident Commander. After the exercise the learner and operator are able to replay their experience during an after action review session.
