PIP-BOY 3000 (2015)Team Reno is bringing a piece of science fiction to life by creating a functioning Pip-Boy 3000 from the popular video game Fallout. The goal was to bring environmental sensors into an easy-to-use cuff device that could help a wearer determine if their environment is safe, or "Is it safe to take off my helmet?"
This project is solving the Space Wearables: Fashion Designer to Astronauts challenge.
G.E.O. (2016)The G.E.O (Geological Environment Observer) is a device that emulates weather patterns--lighting, visuals and sound--on Earth. The purpose is to help ease the depression and anxiety astronauts may experience in long-distance space flight. Research has shown that ambient lighting, sound and visuals can help combat depression, so the G.E.O is an all-encompassing Earth experience that uses weather data from the astronaut's home city and recreates it through water, light and sound.
This project is solving the My Sky Color challenge.
The only source of knowledge is experience.
