After taking Structures of Interactive Information and being able to view the exhibits of Camille Utterback, I became fascinated with the idea of alternative interfaces for computers as well as the issues that come along with systems that use 'unconventional' forms of interface.
My research interests lie in the fields of wearable computing, responsive environments, large collections management, sensemaking and calm computing.
My thesis is called ZooMICSS: Zoomable Map Image Collection Sensemaking system. It involves the use of location aware media with a zoomable map interface for making sense of the aftermath of the hurricanes and flooding within the city of New Orleans as well as the stories of those people displaced from the city now living elsewhere.
