**Project Lead: Adam Eastman → [mailto:aeastman26@gmail.com aeastman26@gmail.com]
**Project Background Information: The Kinect is one of the most innovative technologies to be released in the past 5 years. If you don't already know, Kinect is a motion sensing input device by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game console and Windows PCs. It was the "fastest selling consumer electronics device", selling a total of 8 million units in its first 60 days.
***Many of the early applications of Kinect used voice and gesture recognition for gaming experiences. However, as Kinect becomes more mature, the market has recognized hundreds of new areas where the hardware's motion sensor technology can be revolutionary. Third parties have already used human gestures and Kinect to control robots, manipulate web browsers, or even play a virtual piano.
**Project Deliverables: Explore new experiences that you can create using the Kinect. Then, submit ONE of the following:
***An explanation of your application and the user experience. Visuals are highly encouraged! Write your description in the text field and upload helpful images/drawings. Powerpoint is also a great option.
***-OR-
***A design document describing the architecture of your proposed application. Include high-level code samples to explain your architecture (Applications can be built in C++/CLI, C#, or Visual Basic .NET).

Design for America (DFA)

 

Website URL:   [http://designforamerica.com/ http://designforamerica.com/]

 

Description:

 

Design for America (DFA) is an award-winning nationwide network of interdisciplinary student teams and community members using design to create local and social impact.  We teach human centered design to young adults and collaborating community partners through extra-curricular, university based, student led design studios tackling national challenges in Education, Health, Economy and Environment.  Founded at Northwestern University in 2009 they now have studios all over the country within universities such as Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Yale and more with over 2,000 students in our network and 350 core team members. DFA is a pipeline of innovators, change makers, and social entrepreneurs.  This year, two of their start-ups SwipeSense and Jerry the Bear have gone on to raise nearly $1.5 million in start-up capital, with more projects in the pipeline ready to make an impact.  DFA, their students, and projects have been featured in publications such as the cover of Fast Company, Oprah Magazine, Inc Magazine, Forbes, the Chicago Tribune, Harvard Business Review and more.

 

DFA student teams work on 2-3 self-selected design projects throughout the academic year applying the skills and expertise gained through their for-credit academic courses.  They look to their local community to assess pressing challenges and work in teams with organizational partners to understand user’s needs, ideate, prototype and test potential solutions.  Projects that receive validation from their partners, users and mentors are encouraged to continue into implementation.  DFA students must be fearless in moving forward on a good idea and fearless enough to take a step back when they may need to go back to the drawing board.  DFAers represent diverse academic fields such as engineering, design, psychology, and economics. DFA believes that all students have the capacity to use design to innovate the world around them and DFA is a platform to do so.

ReUSE

 

Website URL:  [http://reuse.berkeley.edu/ http://reuse.berkeley.edu/]

 

Mission:  To promote the concept and ethic of reuse to the campus population and to divert reusable materials from landfills.

 

Description:

*How:  ReUSE will achieve the mission statement by collecting reusable materials from individuals and departments and redistributing them back to the campus community. This service aims to encourage the campus community to reconsider their traditional notions of waste and incorporate reuse into their daily lives.

*ReUSE makes donated reusable items available on campus through mini ReUSE stations. These stations are either bookshelves, cabinets, or old phone booths located in various buildings, and are stocked with office supplies and other materials. The campus community can take anything for free, and can donate materials that are in good condition and are reusable. See “Procedures” on website for details.
*Why:  Reuse saves money and resources on labor, freight, and reprocessing and is thus environmentally preferable to recycling. Since UC Berkeley is seeking to reduce its waste stream into landfills, it must employ the diversion technique of reuse, which has been highly underutilized on this campus in the past.
*The Goal:  ReUSE seeks to divert 20-30 tons of material annually, as this amount was identified as reusable in campus waste audits.
*Who:  ReUSE serves the UC Berkeley campus community including students, staff, and faculty and is a subset of the Campus Recycling and Refuse Services.
