In the creation of project Brain Stream, I’ve had my hands in many things. I’ve contributed to the idea for the overall project in tweaking the ‘thought to tweet’ concept, and worked on the prototype to be used for the video with sketches and gathering materials that would work for the device. Eventually the rest of the group decided that a ‘simple’ look for the device was best and settled on the headband I spraypainted silver (was originally white).

This is a photo of the final prototype I produced.

I had a part in creating the storyboard as well and giving input on how to go forward in shooting scenes for the promotional video for Brain Stream. In addition, I’ve also been present as an actress for various scenes of the video.

This was the storyboard I drafted while we were deciding on what scenes to include in the promo video.

The rest of my group met about twice on campus separate from class time and although I could not be there as a result of my commute and living off campus, I made sure that I was updated on what was discussed and pulled my weight in full.

Lastly, I wrote the summary that assessed our project and its meaning, and thoroughly went through the influences that affected the origin of Brain Stream.

I also mentioned how this device could be used in the near future in benefitting individuals with disabilities and aiding them in social graces, as well as discussing in depth the process of how Brain Stream came to be.

These are more recent sketches I produced of a future Brain Stream device for men and women.
