2017_S2 User Experience in Design

As I caught a virus that has been going around the school, I unfortunately did not manage to visit the exhibition. Thankfully, I have visited the exhibition prior to this. Therefore, I will be reflecting on my past experience instead.

The thing I absolutely loved about the Future World exhibition is how it was able to immerse viewers into a different Read more →

ADM-DIP White iLight Proposal

Concept:

Show the harm of non-biodegradable materials and the seriousness of our actions through an immersive interactive experience.

This was my second time visiting the Future World. As this was a permanent exhibition in the Artscience Museum, I was quite surprised that they actually changed up some of the exhibits.
