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.
