DoIIIT Together

The DoIIITogether initiative embraces the interdisciplinarity of UMSI, providing a creative space where researchers with diverse backgrounds and interests can collaborate and create.

The Dream Time Machine

Jurors said this project is "Immersive, participatory and surprising. Visitors are taken on a magical adventure with the help of a mobile device and digital exhibits. It takes the immersive experience up several notches, creates an engaging and fully interactive experience for users, moves the device to an integral part of the experience." And "Their innovative use of location-based technologies and augmented reality ensures that this mobile experience bleeds into the physical environment."

The Square of Aspiration

It is just like a dream comes true, romantic but tangible. In the Square of Aspiration, visitors explored and recalled their childhood through the diversity dream windows. Through a smart phone and augmented reality (AR) technology visitors can become the characters in tiny miniature landscapes, taking pictures as digital souvenirs for the journey.

Our team's app "Sgraffi" which allows users to revisit their childhood by creating Sgraffitos of their own, wons UMSI's expoSItion 2012 1st place.

Developed tactile interfaces designed to confront critical challenges of learning and social engagement for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
