Project proposal statements should be centered around a “How Might We?” question that tackles a complex/wicked challenge connecting multiple disciplinary contexts/partners and/or exploring new applications of emerging technologies. Project proposals should describe the potential benefit to the DI Initiative, as well as to their own creative, research, teaching and/or other scholarly goals.
Priority will be given towards project proposals that help to build awareness and utilization of the resources in the Design Innovation ecosystem, especially involving:
- Applications of 3D volumetric video content utilizing our “XR_Collaboratory.”
- Explorations of the Blank_Lab immersive projection/sound environment.
- Unique integrations of human-centered design approaches across disciplinary contexts.
- Techniques that address team-dynamics across disciplinary and other kind of difference.
