My journey began in 2014 at a lab I called the Ice House Innovation Space in downtown Harrisonburg, where I served as Inventor-in-Residence, creating the models and prototypes in my Case Studies. Officially named JMU X‑Labs, the facility moved in 2015 to a to a spacious, purpose-built complex at Lakeview Hall on the university's main campus. In an expanded role there, I launched the Concept Visualization Studio, mentoring students and conducting faculty seminars in software prototyping, interface gamification, and interaction design. At the height of X‑Labs' popularity in 2016, I migrated to a quiet NMR Facility at the East Campus Physics & Chemistry Building, where I designed and developed ChemSim‑VR. Conditions there were ideal for prototyping educational software, with faculty providing subject-matter expertise and students supplying end-user feedback. This poster encouraged everyone at James Madison University to visit the original off-campus Ice House Innovation Space.
