MyPainter is a digital game to help in the rehabilitation for stroke survivors. In this game, players will do exercises for both physical training and language learning. The physical training focuses on weaknesses or paralysis, while the language game focuses on healing the word-finding difficulties associated with Anomic Aphasia. The goal of this game is to provide a positive experience that makes it easier for patients to rehabilitate with less frustration in the post-stroke period.
With the user tests of patients and therapists from Washington Square Institute, I have discovered that the game provides a positive experience that makes it easier for patients to rehabilitate with less frustration in the post-stroke period.
In the game, words are displayed on the screen in rhythm with the background music. The player operates a physical controller with either their hand or foot, applying pressure when the image that matches the text reach the hand. The player receives positive reinforcement via object on the screen that adds with each correct push of the controller.

Timeless is an interactive application with a goal to bring people’s thought about time. In this application, audiences can use mouse to click anywhere on the screen and a clock will show up at the position where the click happens. Also, there are twelve circles which represent hours spinning on the clock as well as the hour hand and minute hand. The direction, speed, color and transparency of circles and hands depend on the position of the clock.
In this project, the time is always passing but the clock is turn forward or backward, so do the hour and minute hands. Does the time really fly away or not? Does the time go with a certain direction?
