Attending thought at work 2018. 

Always impressed of the high quality of this student lead design conference.

So many inspiring talks and insightful panel discussions.

One of the highlights was Nick Baker’s VR sketching demo. 

The attending SU IID students had an opportunity to meet with Nick and ask questions.

I am attending the 2018 Autodesk Symposium in conceptual design in Toronto.

Great to learn about new features in sketchbook pro and fusion 360.

The new VR sketching app is amazing.

Exciting stuff and great to meet fellow design educators and professionals interested in mixed reality.

Prof. Schneider is presenting at the 2018 ASEE Conference in Salt Lake City the paper titled: Mixed Reality and Automated Machinery

I was lucky enough to be featured on the title page of the SU Magazine. After being interviewed about my research in Mixed Reality, the 2017 spring issue featured a story about virtual explorations on campus and alumni.

I posted the link on LinkedIn and the response was incredible.

Upon moving to Central New York (CNY), I wanted to bring a little flavor of Boston to our new neighborhood. We had enjoyed a tiny library there in our busy street, which impressed me with the constant turnover. With a stop at the Syracuse ReStore I discovered the perfect material to build the box: Recycled solid oak church pews, a window and an old handle. My colleague donated a recycled piano hinge for the door and I used a section of a retired sail mast for the post.

The most expensive part was the varnish.(not counting my time…)

On a very nice Sunday afternoon in October, two of my neighbors volunteered to help with the installation.

It is fun to see the neighborhood kids engaging with books in a playful way.

And the tiny library even withstands the CNY winters…
