7. MILLEE , CMU, USA Mobile and immersive leaning for literacy in emerging economies The Project was a part of my summer internship in Carnegie Mellon University, USA. The research group MILLEE aims at implementing a human-centered approach in building immersive, enjoyable, language learning games on cell phones modeled after traditional village games that rural children find familiar. The project was to design and develop mobile games solving various research questions the group encountered in there last field study. These games were developed for Flash Lite and Brew Supported phones and were later deployed in a field testing in India. Marakothi: Building support to solve interruption in an immersive gaming environment designed for learning. A module to save, pause game states JantarMantar- Immersive Language learning game with support for sharing within gender (for girls).

9. Login page Destiny A browser based chat application Recognition of chatting activities in social interactions is useful for constructing human social networks. This Project aims at designing a browser based chat application using an immersive gaming model. This application uses the real world scenario of friend making to generate a virtual model and use it to make chatting more immersive and exciting experience. This chat application calculates your odds of meeting a person online based on the probability which is decided by the compatibility calculated between the two chatting parties. The compatibility is calculated in real time based on the understanding a user gains about his chatting partner as well as the interest shown by the users during the chatting. The Application is built using Flash Media server, Flash Actionscript , PHP and MySQL for database. We have used an iterative design process by testing the application several times in IIT campus. The interface is made adaptive using fluid Layouts. Home Page

10. Event page Prayas View prototype Prayaas uses creativity, innovation and technology to help reach the voice of different NGOs and Non –Profit organizations to as many people as possible. The project is a web based interface between the NGOs and users of Social networking website that may act as potential volunteers for these organizations. Facebook application of this project is under development. The application automatically filters events of social welfare based on preferences set by you. The new task flow reduces the time user needs to find a event of social welfare on internet and participate in it to a great extent. Task flows Information Architecture System Model

11. Virtual avatar to navigate the website Alcheringa ‘09 Website View website Designed and developed a web based interactive interface for Alcheringa’09, the Annual Cultural festival of IIT Guwahati using immersive game behavior. The web interface uses geographical metaphor to create a 2D virtual environment and an interactive avatar to navigate through the information/content. Avatar navigating the website Home page

12. Destination ‘x’ Designed a Mission game using Geographic metaphor (world map).The mission of the game is to reach a final destination while moving and roaming through different cities in world. The map is explored as the game proceeds. It started with making an algorithm to generate maps considering shortest path algorithm using different permutations of cities and then story boarding the game. The maps are disclosed to participants in steps during the game depending building a immersive behavior through surprise element. The game and its back ground question bank evolved as a result of endless group discussions, dry runs and continuous improvements. Finally the game interface was made in on flash using an interactive user centered design process. Main page (visualization of the movements of player on the map and also slowly uncovering of the cities.) Questions and scoring

13. GupShup – Tool for office fun This is not a tool for office work collaboration, this tool deals with the fun part. Moving away from a MS Outlook Model we thought of application (browser based as well as standalone) that deals with the fun part of a office environment. Inviting friends for coffee, pool, and foosball or dedicating, sharing videos and songs, or teasing you colleges using fun emotions. This application is built using Flash Actionscript and Flash media server. Designing part is based on an iterative user centered design process, and a detailed analysis of the office culture and environment was done in data gathering and analyses phase to model our application based on it.
