A Synthetic Agent Who Mistook a Face for a Hat!
In the context of the Real-Time Interaction course as a part of my master's education, I developed a convolutIonal neural network model as an image classifier for doodle recognition inspired from the case of "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" by Oliver Sacks*.

UX Project: Temporal Explorations in UX
In the context of the UX project course I took during my undergraduate education, I, along with two classmates, have designed an exercise tracker which reconstructs time representation, inspired by the cycle of the nature, to enhance the experience of "time passing" for people who do indoor exercises.
-
Defined problem: How might we design a personal informatics tool which will focus on giving feedback on the passage of time during exercise?
-
Proposal: To create an exercise tracker which represents time and leads users, who do indoor exercises regularly, to engage with time in a unique and shared way while exercising alone at their homes in these lockdown days.
-
Methods: Survey, interviews, think-aloud testing
-
Result: Mobile application design with earth tone colors along with neumorphic elements.
