Desgin Exchange Museum App Design

In collaboration with Design Exchange Museum and Ontario College of Art and Design we designed a system for Sportswear exhibition including iPad installations, app design and 2D games. The App deploys AR technology in order to make deeper interaction with the visitors both in digital and physical format. The exhibition is expected to be in summer 2015. The Exhibition consists of four sections, which are color coded in the design.

This was a team project under the supervision of Marie O’Mahony (Professor of Advanced Textiles for Fashion + Design at OCAD University). Here are only parts of the project; the rest of information is not share due to confidentiality reasons.

DX Museum App - Game (Swim)

It’s the extension of Design Exchange Museum App. The simple game will invite visitors to have a little more fun at the museum and also give them a chance to win prizes.

The game play is to collect more points within a specific time set. The mechanics consist of obstacles to avoid and stars to collect. The controls are only right and left, then as you proceed the game will speed up. There are three slides: the launch image, gameplay, and the end slide.

Artwee2

Artwee2 is an interactive art installation, which gathers data from twitter API looking for Artwee2 hashtags, then it orders artwee2 box to take action and start drawing shapes. It was a 6 weeks school project. We used Bluetooth to transfer data to the board with Arduino board, all written in IDE software and Processing.js. There is also a screen, which reports the activity of ARTwee2 as it receives information and acts upon it.

You can watch Artwee2 in action here. The video is created by my partner Humberto Aldaz.

Rhythm Of Life

This is an eye band equipped with speakers and a microphone that echoes your own breathing sound to yourself. While closing your eyes, Rhythm of Life helps you to deeply engage in your breathing practices that would generate a balance between mind and body. So it will help you breath and get a little bit closer to yourself, and hear your existence, meditate, and distance yourself from the busy life.

Canada Eh! is a one player game about a girl newly landed on Canada exploring a city and facing stereotypes relating to Canadian culture. The game is designed for adolescents. City scene from top view is the landing page of the game where she finds herself in middle of the city. She explores the city by entering buildings and parks where she discovers more mini games inside each building, each different from another. She must collect badges in order to finish the game. The badges are collected from the mini games. This was a group project, which my teammate Melisa Phachanhla helped with building the game.

EcoCool

EcoCool is a water filtering system that purifies water to a degree that can be consumable for plants. The idea is reusing the grey water while moisturizing the air. It works specifically for dry climates, where the porous clay pipes come to help vaporizing the water. At the end stage, system collects all the clean water to a container holding a soil. It’s perfect to grow home vegetables that are adaptable to wet soil.

This project has been featured in Swedish Disajn Magazine on their number 5 issue in 2012. It has also been featured in few other online design blogs like Inhabitant, TreeHugger and Yanko Design.
