Revised Proposals, Support Skeleton / The Archive

Isa Murray

Proposal 1, Support Skeleton

The support skeleton project functions as an assistant exoskeleton to support the user's back and shoulders while providing a supoort base for any baggage in the user's backpack.


The support skeleton consists of a frame around the legs of the user, a spinal support to maintain good posture and a hip brace for baggage.


Due to the support skeleton conforming with the user's legs, there is potential for electricity generating dynamos mounted on the joints to provide methods to charge an on-board battery. This allows for systems such as cameras, lights, or charging solutions mounted into the skeleton. 




The virtual archive is a file organization system that focuses on developing a antique and visually pleasing library of files. This library is a reimagined structure of the hierarchy of files on the user's computer in terms of rooms, walls, bookshelves, shelves, and books. Similar to the library of babel, the virtual archive, dubbed the Library of Osus, is designed to provide psuedo-physical interactions with your computer in the format of virtual books, magnetic tape cartriges, and film reels. Further, the library organization method allows for better forms of remembering file contents, such as the "Sherlock mind palace" metaphor.
