Final Project Ideas
Initial Thoughts
1. Whole Earth Archive A website that would provide a comprehensive look into the contents of the Whole Earth Catalog, as it is not working online. The site sketch could also include user profiles so they could remix the content
2a. Freedom Trail AR A supplemental app for the Freedom Trail that would augment the tour with additional information, particularly focusing on communities whose voices are otherwise invisible on that tourist journey.
2b. Freedom Trail Site An archival site for the monuments in the Freedom Trail. This would try to use 3D rendering of the monuments, exploring digitizing methods other than photo documentation.
2c. Freedom Trail Tour A mobile application that propose to customize each tourist’s own tour. After the tourist select the estimated time and his or her preferred theme (e.g. people, event, architecture), a customized tour will be created.
3. Sackner Archive of Concrete Poetry A redesign of the Sackner Archive of Concrete Poetry, that would provide a more user-friendly exploration of their content and teaching tools for digitizing concrete poetry.
