Tools For Show: Potent Prototypes

This seminar involves the production of interactive prototypes for storytelling and architectural communication. Discovering multiple identities, qualities, and values of an entity through its replication, students create a series of virtual and analogue duplicates throughout the semester. Using photogrammetry, the class scans the currently inaccessible Sick Bay of the Intrepid, a former aircraft carrier turned floating museum. Digging into the archives, they excavate stories surrounding the Sick Bay to create games, quizzes, interactive experiences, and AR apps. The project is documented online using WebGL.
