ApplyTexas is a system that was created with Texas students in mind in hopes to increase the number of students that pursue higher education. However, the system is outdated and has an interface that to many is confusing and can potentially deter students who are on edge about applying for higher education. I have created a new design for the ApplyTexas portal ensuring that all the current requirements are met as well as creating a more intuitive experience.
Dimensions is a design for an augmented reality (AR) presentation platform. Currently, there are no available platforms that can be used to create AR presentations, though there may be primitive platforms to create apps. The design includes the user interface and the core functions of the platform. The platform can be used to create presentations with a multitude of purposes from displaying architectural or engineering concepts to presenting a new form of surgery. The uses are limitless.
AR technologies pride themselves on being “reality” and recreating or enhancing reality. However, if the elements rendered by these technologies are unrealistic, the renderings are violating the purpose they were created for. Developers often have to sacrifice certain aspects of renderings to either during the real time run to successfully create the rendering with the available processing power/computing resources, or during development to complete the project in time. Losing some of these aspects are inevitable, but, which aspects are more important and valuable when considering the realism of a rendering? This original work will aid developers and designers in the AR/VR sphere in prioritizing aspects and understanding what is necessary for renderings to be realistic.
The high school BCAM pack is designed to be a modular fundraising pack that allows schools to customize how they contribute to NBCF. In the pack, there are several different components that schools can pick and choose to implement based on what they are able to accomplish.
Successfully led and organized a volunteer project to pack and distribute over 80 birthday bags that provided a birthday experience to underprivileged children. Also worked with over 100 families to gather 80 birthday cake mix boxes, 80 bags, 160 packs of party poppers, and other party supplies that would help provide a birthday experience.
