The project built on research that shows Technology Mediated Learning Environments can enhance learning. This project integrated Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) with Building Information Modeling (BIM), gaming engines, visual simulations, and interactive lessons to create tools for helping students better understand the complex systems and processes of building design and construction.

Illiteracy is a global problem that impacts societal and economic growth and development, and is directly correlated with the financial success, health and overall wellbeing of individuals.

House as Health Intervention

Negotiating the environment requires a functional relationship between multi sensory input and our brains. Our sensory systems gather information that the brain integrates and interprets as perceptions of events and objects in the world. Proper functioning of this process is crucial for safe functional performance and independent living. When the processing mechanisms from sensory input to integrated perception are affected by illness or trauma we are unable to navigate our environment safely without aids, re-training, or both. This projects studied 1) if using architecture and occupational students working together to understand home modification problems improves performance outcomes, and 2) what is the effectiveness of home modification questionnaires commonly used in occupational therapy at predicting problems of spatial configuration.
