My portion of the "Honoring Our History: UD at 175" exhibit in the University of Dayton Roesch Library. The interactive includes a rendered background of a bookshelf with recreations of yearbooks, The Exponent, and a Register of Students; recreations of pennants; a pysanky egg captured using photogrammetry; recreation of a UD coffee mug. The interactive components include TimelineJS, an enhanced JuxtaposeJS with 24 images, points of interest, and image descriptions, a 3D model viewer of the pysanky egg, and the 175 Years video produced by UD's marketing team. When a user taps on the Timeline and Then & Now sections or buttons, the interface will zoom into that section, providing a more full screen view of each interactive.

This was another fun project and I'm thankful that University Archives gave me the opportunity to mockup a few themes (bookshelf in two versions, a messy desk, and corkboard) and build something that aesthetically fit in well with the exhibit.

Inspired by a digital Advent wreath project at the University of Dayton Libraries for our lobby touchscreen, I decided to try my hand at creating another rendered scene. This project gave the opportunity to learn about geometry nodes in Blender to create the wreaths and decorations, hair particle systems for the stockings, and different shader implementation to create a flame. We did not end up using this render in the display, but I am happy with how it turned out.

A touchscreen display for the Roesch Library lobby (2024) displaying student-reservable rooms with attribute filtering and floor maps with selectable points of interest. This interface was built as a webpage using RevealJS for content navigation, LibCal API to collect space information and bookings, SwiperJS for the floor map carousel, and PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Incorporated usage tracking through Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics with an awesome dashboard in Looker Studio.
