Mixed reality in the design of space habitats
...the inclusion of fractal properties within the optimal range is independent of the ‘natural’ content. Can we simply design environments that incorporate fractal features within that optimal range that do not have anything to do with vegetation, water...

Investigation of the Coriolis effect in rotating space platforms
...design in terms of technical feasibility but, most importantly, also ensure the quality of life in the artificial gravity environment. The Coriolis effect is one of the potential issues, for shorter arm spacecraft and needs to be investigated further...
