Disney Death Tour

The Disney Death Tour is an augmented reality walking tour and mapping project designed for use at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. This project takes up Gregory Ulmer's notion of the MEmorial in order to construct an electronic monument for those who have lost their lives at the park in order to confront the urban legend that no one is allowed to die on-site at Disney. It won the 2019 Kairos Best Webtext Award.

The Augmented Tarot

The Augmented Tarot is an augmented reality tool designed to assist users with their understanding of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. When the camera sensor on a smartphone is pointed at any card in the Rider-Waite deck, an overlay instantly appears that provides annotated information on noteworthy iconography and symbolism present in the card.



Haptic Heuretics

Using a customized mechanical keyboard, a single-board Raspberry Pi computer, and a personalized series of writing programs, Haptic Heuretics was an experiment to answer a single question: can we purposefully alter the material interfaces of our digital media towards a new inventive potential?
