MEET LINE LAB

Line Lab is an augmented reality app that encourages engineering mindsets in young children through hands-on iterative play with just cardboard, ink, and a mobile device.

It is a proposed intervention that emerged through a series of workshops and conversations with D&T educators and students. Various prototypes were play-tested in spaces like Earl’s Court Youth Club, Stratford D-Lab, and Imperial’s Great Exhibition Road Festival (2023).

PRODUCTION

This project was made in collaboration with Xin Wen. I was responsible for digital interaction design and technical verification, and user testing for both of those aspects. In order to produce a large enough dataset to train a YOLOv3 model with limited time, I devised a novel method of rendering and automating the annotation process through a mix of Blender and OpenCV.
