Modular Robotic Arm

The following paper describes the process and results undertaken to create a modular robotic arm system. The intent of the project was to create a low cost modular robotic arms system with features seen in more expensive systems as such a product does not exist on the market today. By following a systems engineering approach, our team was able to develop a modular robotic joint in an attempt to fill this market gap

Inside a Digital Maori World

The School of Maori Studies at Victoria University of Wellington uses a digital cultural Atlas in Maori Studies research, the Te Kawa a Maui Atlas, as an integral part of its coursework. The purpose of this Interactive Qualifying Project is to heighten the engagement of the Maori Studies students by connecting them to names, histories and locations of cultural relevance using digital interactive technologies. We analyzed data from student and faculty surveys, interviews, and a focus group. To effectively engage students, we recommended improvements to the current Atlas and evaluated the feasibility of an Augmented Reality application
