A large problem that emerges from being in a zero gravity environment is that once you push off a surface, you no longer have control over your angular momentum. The impact of this issue on our space station is that it creates unnecessary danger for its inhabitants. This lack of safety causes even simple tasks to be harmful, as our space station is a modular network that is continually in motion, so traveling through the network becomes increasingly difficult. However, this issue will no longer be at the forefront of our minds, now that people have access to the P.P.D. (Personal Propulsion Device). This device will use compressed air from the stations atmosphere in order to allow the user control over their movement, removing the worry of collision in the space station.

Thesis Statement

Oh no! I am going to hit this guy!

Oh wait, I have the P.P.D!

WOOSH

That was close!

Aw man! I wish I had one!

Trade has always served as a way to bring together communities of many different cultures. Ring Market intends to bring the significance of a multi-cultural market to space.

Two gravity rings that spin opposite to a another create gravity only within the internal space of both rings.The market exists on the inside of both rings where gravity has been created, bringing the physical and social aspects of shopping at a market, to space.

Thesis Statement

Design Objectives

• Let people shopping market experience gravity like on earth

• Make the market coneventiant to shop in and navigate

• Make the market a positive social space

• Open spaces for socializing

• Create multicultural shopping experience as a way to bring people together 

• Provide a positive social experience by creating open spaces for social gatherings

Thesis Statement

Scroll Through Space is a convenient, accessible way to enjoy and experience reading without carrying around a paper book. This amazing new way to read will expand the options for where people take a book and how people read. Scroll Through Space takes a traditional e-reader and makes it more compact through a rolling screen. This creates a way to easily carry around a few hundred books in the users back pocket. The e-reader extends from a scroll device and when the user is done using it, it rolls back up automatically. This makes a easily accessible yet compact device. In addition to portability, tools such as haptic feedback, gifs, smell dispensers and changing temperatures were utilized to create a more exciting and immersive reading experience.

Design Objectives

• Create an immersive experience through simple and accessible design
• Creating a sensory experience to increase engagement
• Providing features the encourages user engagement
• A small amount of immersion but still holding a piece of imagination for the user

Design Elements

• Small and compact device
• Lightweight design
• Immersion through the senses (Haptic feedback, Smell dispensers, temperature variation)

Rather than aligning with people's needs, shopping on Earth can be difficult, inconvenient, and very time consuming. "HoloShop" takes advantage of being in outer space to create an efficient, fun, and playful shopping experience. 



"HoloShop" combines the convenience of shopping online, with the instant fulfillment of buying in-store. It uses augmented reality to portray the user as a hologram wearing the clothes that the user is shuffling through. Once they've decided on an outfit, they can simply press a button and have it given to them immediately. This creates a quick and unique experience which allows shopping to have increased personalization.

Design objectives

• Provide a fast, easy shopping experience

• Create a personalized shopping experience

• Provide a uniquely playful experience
