Showcase schedule

Monday, March 31

IAT 445 Immersive Environments
Location: Mezzanine (SRYC)
Time: 3:00-6:30PM at the SFU Surrey campus mezzanine

On March 31st, students will be pre颅sent颅ing their final VR projects. The design chal颅lenge was Impact: Using immer颅sive expe颅ri颅ence design to con颅tribute to mean颅ing颅ful solu颅tions to real-world chal颅lenges. That is: what is a topic that you (and your team) care very deeply about that would help create a better world? A topic you care about so deeply about that it might be worth making a purposeful/transformative immer颅sive VR expe颅ri颅ence out of it?

This year鈥檚 VR projects explore themes of envi颅ron颅men颅tal respon颅si颅bil颅ity, emo颅tional resilience, and interconnectedness鈥攊nviting audi颅ences to step into the fins of a salmon return颅ing home, expe颅ri颅ence life as a bee, restore bal颅ance to frac颅tured worlds, or break free from the weight of self-doubt. These pow颅er颅ful expe颅ri颅ences lever颅age the unique affor颅dances of vir颅tual real颅ity to spark com颅pas颅sion, reflec颅tion, and action. Join us for an after颅noon of inno颅va颅tion, imag颅i颅na颅tion, and impact.

Navin Thomsy Project Title: Genie: Reimagining Home Screen Interfaces using Multi-Agent AI Systems

Project Description: What if your device鈥檚 home screen could dynamically transform to meet your needs? Genie challenges decades of rigid interface design conventions with a novel approach that places AI at the center of user interface interaction. Genie eliminates traditional app navigation, instead generating custom interfaces in real-time through simple voice commands. Users simply express their intent through natural language like 鈥淲hat鈥檚 on my calendar today?鈥� Using intelligent multi-Agent AI workflows (powered by n8n), the system instantly crafts a custom interface displaying exactly what you need, right when you need it. By reimagining home screens as generative, task-oriented workspaces rather than rigid grids of icons, Genie offers a glimpse into computing鈥檚 future where interfaces assemble themselves around your needs, not the other way around.

Project Title: Potret: A Speculative Digital Photo Library Manager combining Computation, Culture and Metaphor

Project Description: Potret is a photo archival and retrieval system that investigates how culturally informed design can enhance digital memory practices, fostering more intentional and meaningful engagement with personal visual histories, particularly in the context of migration and identity formation. The proliferation of digital photography has transformed memory-making, challenging both the significance and accessibility of personal archives. As individuals amass vast collections of images, the reflective potential of digital photographs is often lost within an overwhelming volume of data. By integrating Indonesian cultural perspectives with computing design, Potret reimagines digital photo archiving and retrieval鈥攏ot merely as a means of organizing and preserving images but as a dynamic system that weaves together personal narratives, encouraging self-reflection and strengthening connections between past and present.

Project Title: Tewen: A Prompt-Based System for Context-Aware Website Generation

Project Description: Tewen is a prompt-based system that enables users to generate fully functional, context-aware websites using simple text input. Rather than relying on predefined layouts or component libraries, Tewen leverages large language models to interpret prompts, generate full codebases in real time, and respond to iterative refinements. The system supports contextual input chaining, allowing users to build upon previous generations without starting from scratch. Additionally, it incorporates a version rollback mechanism for safer experimentation and guided exploration.

Although still under active development, Tewen demonstrates the potential of AI to make website creation more conversational, efficient, and adaptable. It is particularly suited for designers, prototypers, educators, and developers seeking to accelerate the early stages of the web design process without sacrificing creative or technical control
