Barrett, The Honors College Thesis/Creative Project Collection
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.
Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

This project is called the Zoom Room and it is about the use of virtual reality (VR) for workspace productivity. It is where Zoom and VR meet to form an enhanced productive workspace for users. Equipped with two 3D printers that show how a 3D printer moves and the intricate parts that make up the 3D printer, it is much more than just a standard meeting room. It is a place to analyze machines and meet with others in a virtual space.
For the average person, when they use a computer, they interact with two main groups: the Computer Input, which consists of a keyboard and a mouse, and the Computer Output, which consists of a monitor and speakers. For those with physical disabilities, traditional Computer Input and Output methods can be difficult or uncomfortable to use. I believe VR Technology can make using computers much more accessible for those individuals, and my application demonstrates that belief.

There are numerous possibilities for virtual reality (VR) to improve upon the dissemination of information in several professional fields. Virtual reality has the capacity to be a useful tool in the judicial system related to its use in the presentation of evidence to juries and other persons. Crime scenes are a crucial part of an investigation but are difficult to present to a jury. This experiment proposes an investigation to study the difference in the emotional impact of showing jurors an immersive virtual reality representation of a crime scene compared to traditional crime scene photos and the subsequent impact that the VR crime scene tour has on juror decision making. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a 3D VR recreation of a crime scene or be presented with crime scene photos. User responses will then be collected. The following study proposes a prototype for the recreation of a crime scene in VR using the real-world children of Darlie Routier murder case study.
