I am a scholar working on interactive engagements, sustainability, and gamification in the built environment. In my doctoral research, I asked how AI technologies and interactivity can create community dialogues around sustainability and the environment. I have developed an AI-augmented eco-didactic interactive gamification project tailored for public engagement, aiming to foster awareness and inspire actions toward sustainability. The project contained two branches, both educational and focused on sustainable development education: (1) an analog board game developed for design education, (2) a collaborative digital game and installation concept developed for public spaces. We built multiple prototypes for each product, and we are still working on for realization of the project.
