 Luna Production Assistant AI Drone Camera for Content Creators by Madeleine Gerst, Elliot Quasha, and Alexandr Barbaras Problem: Videographers struggle with heavy gear loads, tedious set-up processes for each shot, an intimidating learning curve and high prices for the hardware required to achieve professional grade content. Luna is an AI drone flight camera to reduce equipment load, invite interaction, and be controlled hands free. It records audio and video based on voice commands, following the subject as needed.

We quickly realized that our home spaces and furniture were not designed for these new functions. This spring, the industrial design students of Western Washington University worked on designing new furniture solutions for working at home. And they did it while working from home themselves. The Problems They first investigated the problems that we are experiencing during lock-down: Sharing small spaces. Multiple people sharing the kitchen table to do work. Lack of privacy. Lack of square footage. Bad acoustics for video calls and meetings. Echos, noise, distractions. Online video conferences are notorious for poor audio. Bad lighting for video calls and meetings.
