Our project on the human rights of Indian farmers. It is estimated that more than a quarter of a million Indian farmers have committed suicide in the last 16 years--the largest wave of recorded suicides in human history. By immersing the user in a rural farm in India, our goal is to foster understanding reinforced by dramatically motivated actions to express the dire living conditions and desperation of the farmers and their families.
The Prototyping eNarrative Lab (PeN Lab) at Georgia Tech applies digital information design and interaction design principles to digital storytelling to create more complex and expressive narratives, focusing on emerging platforms like experimental television, virtual reality, and augmented reality, and on the intersection of storytelling with game design and simulation design.
