Description

Camrobot is a project where I transfer my body to a picture-taking machine.

With a screen and lens mounted on my body, I will walk around and provide service to anyone. People can press my head to take pictures. The pictures will then uploaded to Instagram and displayed on a screen on my body.

“Huiyi” Camera is so far the most intelligent camera. It adjusts with you wills, automatically add filter for your pictures and upload to Instagram for you.

“Camerobot” plays with the idea that machines — camera in particular, are mediating and even dominating our senses and the way we experience the world.

The Data Viz of NYC Traffic

James Huang, Alan Peng

Our data visualization project shows real-time traffic both on roads and in subway to help people understand the NYC traffic condition at a glance.

Description

Why is the NYC traffic so bad, and why is the NYC subway schedule so unreliable? The MTA is working hard and has proposed a few ways to fix these issues, but their solutions would not have impacts right away. What we can help now is to design a tool that is accurate and easy-to-use, so when train delay is inevitable, people can still plan ahead.

The Starting Line

Terrick Gutierrez, Lauren Race

The Starting Line is a game powered by privilege.

Description

Two users answer a series of ten boolean questions . If they answer “yes” (or privileged) to a question they advance further in the game. However, if they answer “no” (or non-privileged) they do not advance. The end of the game delivers a final percentage and encourages each user to use their privilege as a tool for good.
