Final Year Projects

The Structure of Protection

The Structure of Protection is an experimental design project that explores the production and performance of three dimensional woven textile structures for protective garment applications.

The research and experimentation in this projects is inspired by woven textiles used for hi velocity impact and lower velocity impact. Through experimentation with material, production, and application a pallet of woven samples has been developed with the use of 3D printing technology, to serve in a variety of exciting applications. 


Gravity Sketch

Gravity is a group project exploring the ways we as creators develop and visualise  our ideas in 3D space. Gravity is tool composed of a pen and pad specifically designed for sketching in an augmented environment accompanied by augmented reality glasses. Free from any screen, Gravity allows you to focus on developing your ideas in an intuitive way.

As you start to draw, objects take shape in front of you. Through the landing pad controls, you can adjust the plane in which you sketch, giving volume to your creation. Gravity reinvents how you and your collaborators visualise and contribute to each other's ideas.

Gravity is a simple and engaging tool that will shape a new wave of 3D creation.
