NASA SUITS is a collaborative design challenge offered nationwide that encourages university involvement in STEM research. The challenge involves designing an augmented reality environment on the Microsoft® HoloLens for astronauts to help them on spacewalks. Bradley University brings forth an adept interdisciplinary team whose members study in some of the Midwest’s most innovative technology departments. Together, we seek to optimally utilize the most cutting-edge, contemporary, and emerging technologies. We look to create an augmented experience that guides the user through space, missions, and procedures through our Interactive Media User Experience Design, Engineering, and Computer Science departments’ collaboration and resource.
This semester of IM 366 has focused on teaching students how to apply their skills to the working world by connecting them with clients to make functioning websites.

Caterpillar UX Design Challenge for World Usability Day World Usability Day (WUD) will kick off with a UX Design Challenge that will be a collaboration between the Cat Digital UX team and students in the UX major at Bradley University. Students will work alongside Cat professionals in groups of 4 to solve UX design issues for Caterpillar regarding their mobile and web B2C website. The design challenge will take place over one day with the students presenting their idea/s at the end of the day and during the World Usability Day Conference at Caterpillar. Students will work on their designs a month before November 8th based upon the research finding provided from Caterpillar to date. On November 8th, the students will be user testing the designs at Caterpillar’s UX testing division office and revise their designs onsite for a final solution. The designs will be displayed during the gallery walk at UX World Usability Day.
