Digital Wayfinding: Kosc
Skills Applied: Wayfinding, CAD, Design Research, UI/UX
Project type: School project
My team looked into the history of Edmonton, and its common habit of demolishing historical buildings or sterilizing standing structures to cut costs.
Kosc is an AR kiosk concept where a user is able to explore the history of a space through digital wayfinding. They'd use a QR style code to collect information and would be able to read into the lore of the space they are in. After they were done they could leave a digital tag with...
User Research: Dust Buff
Skills Applied: Physical Prototyping, Case Studies, Photo Editing
Project type: School project
As the result of climate change, wildfires are becoming more common across the world. The last few summers in Alberta have been met with low air advisories and the unfortunate reality is that workers will need to be prepared with PPE if they are required to remain outdoors. After interviewing OH&S at a geomatics company and reviewing their policy & risk management we realized that there was a negative workplace culture around wearing...
Let's Talk Waste!
Skills Applied: Life Cycle Analysis, Material Prototyping, Design Research, Sustainability
Project type: Certificate Capstone
