Quantum Computing remains obscure to most people. This project is a think-tank based sprint to illustrate an experience that shows a potential, in this case playful, application. According to experts, Quantum Computing could allow very precise simulations of increasingly complex situations. Quantum Crystals is an experience that allows a person to design their very own ice crystal, in real time and with real-world prececise weather parameters. ; each as unique as the user.

IoT Design Challenge: Envision, design, and prototype an experience which helps to engage small businesses with emerging technologies while demonstrating both immediate and long-term usefulness of IoT services.
Proposal: The experience envisioned allows users to view, embed, and share information in the physical world through a real-time Merged Reality drone application
Hi Mom
This project is an exploration into generating a tactile means of communicating the wide variety of tones across languages. Rather than focusing on conveying information to the impaired, as braille does, we aimed to highlight the qualities of sound – the sharpness, smoothness, etc., of the simple and dear phrase "hi mom."

Air
An IoT device that senses & maps smoke, mold, humidity, radon & carbon monoxide through rolling about your environment. As you take it with you, information is shared to gradually & collectively map the health of your home, neighborhood, town, etc.

PneuSkin
A Second Skin: Generating Information Of Our Extended Surroundings Through Haptic Stimuli. PnueSkin is a wearable tool that communicates information through a full-body tactile braille; a haptic augmented reality. Through a series of air channels, the suit is able to create patterns of touch and motion throughout the body.
