| Overall Research Project Description | I'm working on building a walk-in "photo booth" (approx. 10 feet diameter), which uses 100+ cameras, each powered by individual Raspberry Pi mini-computers all connected, to simultaneously capture and generate a full-body (or multiple people) image capable of being 3D printed in full color, resulting in a realistic statuette of the participants. This technology already exists, and I'm interested in duplicating and advancing current designs. I'm partially interested in the documentation of people (memory), but I also recognize the market potential for something like this on a campus such as FSU - especially during graduation season. |
| Research Tasks | Assist with creating and building functioning proofs of concept (design, structural, electronics, programming) Cut materials using our laser cutter 3D printing Programming |
| Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | Recommend: Basic knowledge of tools/ability to work with their hands Programming using Python |
| Mentoring Philosophy | My studio is a sometimes chaotic place of experimentation, failure, discovery and observation, and I invite any mentee to experience this to the fullest. I would hope that any mentee would engage with the work in a way that serves THEM the best. I encourage any student to find their voice - and in doing so; their path. |
