Improving Student Spaces 

This was a University project done with the mentorship of several NEC employees. In order to determine the best approach to tackle "Improving Student Spaces", my team and I placed a large emphasis on research & surveys, seeing what other universities are doing and getting the opinions of current students. With all the gathered data, we came to a conclusion to focus on improving the visibility of study spaces.

​

Our proposal was to develop a simple to use phone app which would have a map of the university with each building colour coded to display the capacity of spaces available, which would be updated in real-time. During our meetings at NEC, we were introduced to software that can recognise and count the number of people on a camera feed. Hence, by placing cameras in study spaces around uni, the information can be easily processed and displayed on the app for students to see.

​

 Although this app was never developed, the University of Melbourne has since implemented a similar solution, where the information of capacity is displayed on a screen outside buildings with study spaces.
