After bringing in our physical materials from the first class, we were split up into groups based on what we wanted to achieve with our first prototypes. I joined Kristin Gräefe, Russ Maschmeyer, and Evinn Quinn for the duration of the semester in researching, ideating, prototyping, and creating a unique device that will serve to keep people mindful and aware of their surroundings.

For our first assignment in Prototyping User Experiences class, featuring the guys from Frog Design, we were to bring in a sample of a physical material that we were drawn to in both touch and feel. This and the remaining prototypes that follow would all fall under the topic of awareness/mindfulness.

Here's my presentation on reducing bio-cost through strategic ad placement for online videos. I'll have a more thorough writeup by this weekend. -GLU
