HoloCaptions
Those with hearing impairments do not use the same audio cues that are typically used in everyday communication. HoloCaptions provides real-life closed captioning using speech-to-text API's and leverages facial recognition with Microsoft Hololens.

KickALZ
KickALZ is a VR experience created for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which combines aspects of music, reminiscence, and sensory therapies. Users enter a landscape and proceed on a journey where they plant and engage with memory flowers. Voice dialogue is encouraged and Watson Voice Recognition is used to generate a sentiment analysis which can be used as a diagnostic tool. At the end of the journey, the user is able to relax in their personal memory garden, viewing photos and messages from their loved ones.

Focus
We can all relate to the experience of sitting down to make progress on a task - whether reading a book, writing a proposal, or clearing through email - only to find ourselves wandering away from the work at hand. 'Focus' is a mixed reality application built for HoloLens that promotes positive attention and focus. The user begins by dynamically wrapping their work in a 'zone of focus.' If the user becomes distracted from their task, their attention is gently guided back to their prioritized activity.

Ice Breakers
We built a model of Greenland from real data that have been collected via satellite and airborne missions. We move around the surface of Greenland in a plane, the way that the majority of data are collected, pointing out important features along the way. We also take you below the ice, so you can discover a place that hasn't seen the atmosphere in over 100,000 years!

HoloCity
HoloCity allows users to experience real-time simulation of housing and transportation through use of a Hololens. Different colors and sizes of the LEGO blocks represent various types of zoning, such as commercial, residential, government, and nature. Flow and density of traffic in an area is visualized through the color and scale of drawn magnetic fields. Other properties such as capacity, walkability between vehicles and buildings, and many more attributes can be easily presented and understood. This has direct applications both for governments in the sense of city planning, communities for envisioning future projects, and for individuals looking to find the perfect neighborhood to call home.
