Rapid Prototyping

 This project was done in collaboration with Design Museum in Acton, the Mirrors group was tasked with updating the existing exhibit. We found we could improve the exhibit's approachability and complexity, which would in turn increase interaction. The group then branched out in four different directions to accomplish that goal.

My portion of the Mirrors project was based around infinity mirrors and the illusions they create. I created an 'infinity cube' and several intractable prototypes to teach kids about reflections and how they 'work'. [how does it work]

Once again, this studio was a struggle because of external factors. I found it difficult to juggle the concepts I needed to learn with the never-ending flow of supplementals and other college material. Seniors need more college support, or at least a way to get more done. The non-traditional approach to applications, though beneficial in the long run, hinders my ability to get traditional support outside NuVu. I truly believe I would suffer long-term mental issues if I had any more work than I do now.

I suppose I have to talk about the project too. If I'm honest, this was basically a solo project. I worked on what I was passionate about, because I felt my group mates had good direction (or that I wasn’t comfortable relying on them to complete work). Decent project, got a lot of feedback, did a lot of prototyping in all phases (initial cube w/o mirrors -> Cube w/ mirrors -> Intractable prototype w/mirrors -> my secret Santa gift for poker), expressed the wow aspect pretty well. I combined skills in material research, rapid prototyping and giving/receiving feedback.
