Intro
The Wildfire Prevention App is a mobile AR application that utilizes machine learning to identify high-risk objects such as windows, doors, and roofs in homes. The app provides an interactive way for users to explore their homes and learn about fire prevention methods. By utilizing advanced machine learning algorithms, the app is able to accurately identify potential hazards and provide users with personalized prevention recommendations. With an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, users can quickly and easily assess their home's risk level and take proactive steps to prevent wildfires. The Wildfire Prevention App represents a cutting-edge solution that leverages the latest technologies to help keep homes and communities safe from the devastating effects of wildfires.

Process

MY ROLE

On this two-person team, my primary roles included project management, experience design, testing, and deployment. I worked with my development partner to design and create the augmented reality user interface, provided weekly updates to the funder and I annotated and tested images for the artificial intelligence model used in the app.

PRODUCT

The purpose of this project was to create an engaging app that fire safety officers could use in the field to help educate homeowners on fire safety pertaining to their homes. When used the app used an augmented reality live of a home structure and icons were placed on the house at various points of interest, such as windows, the roof and under eaves construction. This was done to show homeowners specific locations on their house that could serve as fire risks. Once the locations were identified a information repository was accessible for fire mitigation steps.

Semiconductor Digital Twin

Experience Design
 / 
 / 
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.

Full Body Waves

Gamification
 / 
 / 
“Waves” is a full body experience where learners act as a wave. This project evaluated learning impacts on learners who use their entire bodies as components in a learning environment. Participants use their bodies to add energy to waves and work together to unlock achievments. Do learners retain more information when high levels of physical activity are reached?
