Baculus
The Baculus is a motion capture device with two internal sensors on either side of the staff. The motion data is sent wirelessly to a Max application, which receives the OSC data sent by the ESP-32 board over UDP. The Baculus is currently being used to
control digital synths, but we are working towards integrations with other DAWS and programs, such as Ableton, Logic, and Unity. The sensor being used is a MPU-6050, which captures 6 degrees of freedom: acceleration
in X, Y, Z, and gyroscope in X, Y, Z. The data is merged using the sensors on-board digital motion processor, which gives additional data like yaw, pitch, and roll.
Battle Blaster Babies

Battle Blaster Babies
Battle Blaster Babies is a side-scrolling, fast-action shoot 'em up, with retro graphics, modern-day character progression, and gameplay customization. The core concept of Battle Blaster Babies is creating repayable fun and engaging gameplay through challenging
combat that blends long-term, incremental character development and short-term, split-second, reactionary decision-making. I have a passion for video games, and I love the creative challenge of designing gameplay
mechanics and systems. My goal for this project is to showcase my skills as a designer, my follow-through and work ethic as a game developer, and the vision I’ve cultivated to transform imagined concepts into realized
gameplay.

Immersive Environments
Immersive Environments is a projection installation putting the viewers in an animated underwater scene reacting based on motion tracking data. Our goal is to ultimately replicate human interaction with nature. Being in a world with restrictions on where
we can go and what we can see, we’re creating a room locally that gives this experience to the viewer. They can see fish swimming around them, sunlight moving through the water, and bubbles popping where the viewer
is mapped on the projection as if walking on the floor of a coral reef. We’ve created this using MaxMSP and Photoshop.

Seeing Double
Our project will be an installation of multiple posters that will cover climate change, the Black Lives Matter movement vs Back the Blue, and COVID-19, all of which have been very significant this year. The posters, which will be viewed on a tv screen,
will change depending on the angle the audience views the posters from. The posters will have a left view, a right view, and a “step back” view that are accompanied with animation to help the audience become immersed
in the moments depicted on the posters.

Virus Story
Virus Story is an interactive video that takes you through the day of a student as he makes decisions about following Covid-19 safety guidelines. The player can choose whether or not to follow a safety guideline and the result of this decision will affect
the ending. There are multiple different scene variations depending on what you choose and the ending will vary based on whether you followed guidelines properly or if you decided not to. The purpose of this project
is to demonstrate why it is important to treat Covid seriously and the repercussions that can come from not doing so.

Livid
Livid is an action platformer looking to explore how we as designers can use the player's emotions during game play and turn dynamic gaming onto its head. Livid has been designed to “punish” the player if they are getting frustrated by changing the difficulty
up when the player starts to use their frustration. If the player can notice this they will have time to readjust their actions and can possibly take a safer route or use some of the game mechanics to their advantage
to cool down.

LOGGED-IN
LOGGED-IN is a five episode web series about the importance of media literacy and the downfalls of being media illiterate in our modern world. The five episodes, #InTheDoghouse, #DidntEvenNotice, #IsThisYou, #BuyingHappiness, and #BehindTheMask, highlight
different ways in which people interact with social media and how they can fall prey to misinformation, how their pasts can come back to haunt them, and how not everyone is who they claim to be. Accompanying the
web series is a website which provides answers to the questions that are raised while watching the episodes. The aim of the web series is to entertain and spark interest in the topic of media literacy, while the
aim of the website is to educate and inform users once their interest has been spiked.

Monocle
Monocle is a task management methodology and web application which aims to bring individual accountability to light in group projects. Often in capstone-like project settings where there are no project managers, the workload is voluntarily assigned and
completed within varying time frames. This makes it difficult to ensure that each member is accountable for the work they have volunteered for. Monocle provides a system that uses on-the-fly voluntary task assignments,
progress tracking, and a quality assurance review process. The aim is to track and visualize the project workflow in a fair and productive way. We hope that this leads to a smoother group project experience for
academia, work, or otherwise.

Self - Progression is a website that will be used as a mental health tool. Self - Progres- sion’s main concept is a daily journal that allows the user to identify their goals for the day and reflect on what they have done at the end of the night. At the
end of ev- ery week, all of the user’s journal entries for the week will be put into a timeline, called Self-Reflection Sunday. Self-Reflection Sunday is designed to allow the user to identify positive and negative
patterns that have an impact on their mental health. The site also includes a Health and Food page that include exercises and recipes that will help im- prove one’s mental health. The site also includes a Contact
and Resources. The Resourc- es page has a list of all national resources if a higher level of help is needed.

Wake Up
“Wake Up” is a 2D platforming game that explores morality through the lens of the 7 Deadly Sins within a modern context. This means using current world events as the setting or inspiration for each of the game’s levels. The game then aims to show which
of the 7 Deadly Sins are present in these different situations. Our story follows the player character, Isaac, who awakes in what seems to be today’s world. Little does he know; he is in fact dead. He soon comes
to realize this bleak reality and sets off on a quest to free his soul from the limbo he finds himself in. Our team is striving to innovate in how we can convey a story’s themes through game mechanics, art direction,
sound design, and more.

Sit With Me
“Sit With Me” is an interactive installation created with the purpose of bringing people back together in a personal way during a pandemic that encourages social distancing from our peers and loved ones. These benches use microphone inputs attached to
Teensey microcontrollers to capture sound and create a live audio visualization using strips of LEDs hidden under frosted acrylic. In addition to audio visualization, each bench is equipped with a microphone attached
to a sound board and headphone output to each bench. Having an analog connection between each bench creates a form of direct communication without compression or delay between two parties that cannot be duplicated
with long distance communication apps like Facetime, Skype, or Zoom. “Sit With Me” has brought back nuanced, direct communication in an interactive and stimulating context.

Take a Walk
Take A Walk is a 2D top-down rpg adventure game where you play as our character Autumn and aid in her quest to survive in a new, unfamiliar environment and solve the mystery of her memory loss and the strangely familiar pages she finds along the way.
Each page contains angsty clues as to who has written them and it is Autumn’s quest to find the owner of these pages and help them. Our core concept is to make a game that helps people struggling with anxiety feel
less alone and feel more in control of their emotions. Our game includes simple game mechanics that will help the mental health of both the main character and the player. Autumn finds herself stranded in a desert
and must make her way through the desert, a forest, and a mountain passage to get home. Along the way, Autumn meets some silly characters which do guide her in her journey, but mostly just need Autumn’s help.

The Hunt
In our project the Hunt, we want to explore aspects of gaming that are not commonly utilized. We are achieving this through haptic feedback functionality, within our gameplay. Haptic feedback will be triggered when enemy attacks connect with the player
sending a signal collider to an arduino. The arduino will then tell the board to turn on a transistor, and later turn on a motor.

Innovation (Mini Doc)
For our group’s capstone project, we are creating a mini-documentary that examines the origin, evolving connotation, and current popularity of the concept of “innovation”. Over the past decade, innovation has become the buzzword of the corporate and
educational sectors, but the question remains: what does it actually mean? As a result of its overuse and generalization, a miscommunication on what actually innovations entails, what constitutes innovation, what
skills and behaviors are required to be innovative, has developed. Over the course of this film, we will analyze how the connotation of innovation wasn’t always a positive one, question if the term still has substantial
value, and evaluate recent application of innovation in the corporate world.

Unreal IRL
Original Project: Original idea was to have parallax motion between a virtual camera and IRL camera with a 3D scene that was then imported into unity that would match up with the camera motions and lighting environment of person being recorded in front
of a green screen. To have a more atmospheric/interactive background instead of a still image.
Re-structed Project part 1 (Neiko and Hector): Since we were not able to get the motion between virtual camera and IRL camera, we will essentially do the project as if we did, basically faking the real time camera motion. We will do that by having similar lighting environments and camera motion and then editing them with a match cut approach. We will still be utilizing the 3D scene, but nothing will be done in real time. We will show how the project was originally intended to be done (real time camera motion) and why (the why being to show correspondence and being used in programs such as Zoom, OBS, etc.).
Re-structed Project part 2 (Daniel and Alex): Used blob tracking and worked in correspondence to track the position of a camera on a slider. Using scale and frame objects, I was able to green screen two different images together at the same corresponding angle.
