Imagine having a crystalline structure in any room, indicating energy usage throughout the building, through light intensities. That is Lumofracto, an organic paper structure, which interprets API energy usage data, and displays it by shining different levels of light, through the structure. Creators: Luke Simon, Vera Schulz

This gym ecosystem connects a gym member’s wristband, locker, mirror, and weight equipment in order to build a community, improve workouts, and optimize usage.

A connected gym ecosystem that measures and uses workout data and biological parameters to optimize workout sessions and nutrient intake by supplying comprehensive performance feedback to the user.

The goal of this project is to create an enclosed habitat that has simple systems that cater to the plant's basic needs. Because we are flying this habitat over 48 million miles to an unfamiliar location with little opportunity for manual intervention, we need to focus on the reducing the number of features and systems in this habitat.

To create a hydroponic closed loop system with shrimp and algae.

GyroPlanter: the interior structure of an independent mobile biome for plants with self-leveling and adjusting and artificial light system.

This ambient device fits into a coffee cup and allows a simple glow to indicate whether a user can drink coffee out or should make it to save money.

Our project is a bottom-up approach in creating a tending system for the plants in our Mars biome. We are taking a hands-off approach in which we are providing optimal conditions for the plants to grow by adapting the landscape via inflatable topography. Soft modular chambers can be inflated to different heights based on plants' needs, such as accommodating hydroponics, encouraging decomposition, and allowing for adequate sunlight positioning.

KiYO is designed to help people automatically keep the water in the fish bowl within a comfortable temperature for their cute fish pet :-)

I design a system that activates the alarm on my phone when my roommate uses her hairdryer.

Notify a roommate to get out of a private place (esp.bedroom and bathroom) in a friendly manner before knocking the door or using other disturbing way.
