Thesis Group

Thesis group: Noelis, Georgia, Luke and Finley

Noelis: Want's to create a room that relates to her life (installation piece). She wants to have her memories expressed in a room. Very symbolic objects that represent what goes on in her life. She wants the room to be a bedroom with a video in one corner and a skinless body in the other. She isn't sure what she want's to show on the video yet but is looking forward to creating a piece that embodies her.

Georgia: Interested in studying identity and reality. She is going into the virtual world, discovering if it is more successful and helpful than a real life encounter. She is putting a profile up on OKCUPID trying to find her love interest and seeing if depending on her different profiles, she is connected with ones she is compatible for. She wants to display a documentation that include her outside characters. She is looking for the awareness of identity and the virtual world of online dating. 

Luke: Wants to create some sort of gaming console that is an itouch/old school gaming controller combined. Luke's idea is to be able to use the joy sticks like old fashion controllers, but being able to add the touching aspect as well. For example: Luke plans on making a shooting game of some sort. You will be able to move your character with the sticks, yet when a grenade needs to be thrown, you simply just swipe your finger, as if you were really throwing it. The problem with the games on itouch's today is that its difficult to hold the object and play with your hands at the same time because of it's size.

Finley: Want's to create a back brace that is more comfortable, easier to put on, fashionable, and functional. More than anything I want to develop a brace that is easy to take on and off, with having the customer make the smallest movement. I want to create a back piece that will keep the back sturdy yet have a lightness to it, so its easier for the user to dress themselves.
