Henry is a designer and creative technologist that couples real world and virtual experiences. By using microcontrollers along with digital and analog sensing devices, we can create controllers that have tangible substance and weight provide input for the playful intangible virtual spaces being created through STYLY for NEWVIEW School.

Sharon Chen, as a Visual Arts Media leaner, a photographer, a filmmaker in the past, the acts of exploring, analyzing, and recording society have become a cherished part of her daily life.
Sharon uses photography and sounds to describe what the world looks like from her perspective. Before 2018 Sharon started transitioning into a designer; she dissolved herself in social journalism and documentary photography for a few years, from 2014-2017.
Constant photography helps Sharon shape her thought process, which is similar to the designing method: discovering, defining, developing, and delivering as a designer for need as both involve observation, innovation, humane care, empathy, and critical thinking. When Sharon was studying and practicing at DT, Parsons, she created interactive installations, VR experimental film, AR interaction filters, and varieties of games that engage humanities with society. She is developing her technology and innovation skills to merge her visual media beliefs.

Irene Yang is a digital designer and VR developer with a focus on the motion capture application in virtual world. She finds inspirations in video games and nature. She thinks video games bring together the most interesting aspects of design like interaction, behavioral science, systems thinking, and storytelling. Not to mention all the amazing work that goes into the music, audio, programming, brand, and art disciplines. She believes that a good immersive project cannot exist without these elements. She also holds a workshop for students to refine their raw motion capture data for VR/AR projects. She's interested in exploring how far the mocap technique could go in a virtual content.
