Inclusive Software Design and Its Methods for Beyond-WIMP User Interfaces

Creator:: Fallatah, Abrar
Abstract:: While digital inclusivity researchers and software practitioners have been trying to address exclusion biases in Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) user interfaces (UIs) for a long time, little has been done to investigate if and how inclusive software design and its methods that have been devised for WIMP UIs...

Evaluating the Effect of Emotions on Student Learning using Prescriptive and Open-ended Lab Activities for a Lean Manufacturing Engineering Course

Creator:: Perez, Maritza
Abstract:: Research has shown that emotional connections during lab activities increase learning in chemistry and physics courses. However, little research has examined the effects of emotion in engineering courses, and these studies have recognized a dearth of research examining the ability of students to apply engineering concepts in real-world applications based...

Toward Machine Learning-Enabled Adaptivity for Humorous Robots

Creator:: Gray, Carson C.
Abstract:: Social robots benefit from a sense of humor, which requires the ability to recognize and adapt to human responses during playful interactions. Past work on humorous robots has classified audience responses with audio-based and preliminary visual-based methods following the joke punchline. Building on this progress, we conducted a survey of...

Designing and Evaluating a User Interface for Multi-Robot Furniture

Creator:: Stoddard, Brett
Abstract:: A chair, once placed, will stay put until moved. Or will it? With the rise of technology being embeddable into everyday objects, what if that chair could move itself? Such robotic furniture has been featured in advertisements, art, and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research. Existing methods for operating robotic furniture have...

Mechanisms of Vigilance Loss in Sensory and Cognitive Tasks

Creator:: Gyles, Shannon P.
Abstract:: When observers monitor for infrequent signals for extended durations, they generally experience a decline in detections over time. This decline is termed the vigilance decrement. Current theories of vigilance attribute the decrement to three potential mechanisms: conservative shifts in response bias, losses of sensitivity, and an increased rate of attentional...

Exploring the Effects of Voice Humanness and Canned Laughter on Robot Comedy Performance

Creator:: Bui, Timothy G.
Abstract:: With robots becoming increasingly commonplace in today’s society, we need to find ways to help robots to become better accepted. One common method used to gain acceptance and build rapport is through the use of humor. Currently, research in robot comedy exists, albeit it is fairly limited. Our goal with...
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

Metacognition, Numeracy, and Automation-aided Decision-making

Creator:: Gyles, Shannon P.
Abstract:: Automated decision aids can improve human decision-making but the benefits are often compromised by inefficient use. The current experiment examined whether metacognition—the ability to assess self-performance—and numeracy—the ability to understand and work with numbers—predict the efficiency of automation use in a signal detection task. Two-hundred twenty-one participants classified random dot...

Enabling Virtual Globes for A Visual-Auditory User Experience of Spatial Data

Creator:: Gune, Aditya N.
Abstract:: Geographical datasets are large, complex, and can be difficult for users to navigate and derive meaning from. These datasets, as well as the unique insights derived from them, provide tremendous opportunity for social change -- many of the global challenges humankind is currently facing can benefit from analytics or visualization...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Knowing your customers : ontological gathering and analysis techniques

Creator:: Nix, Anthony A.
Abstract:: This research presents a methodology to analyze customer needs and direct the gathering of customer needs that both span the need space and are independent. An ontological categorization, the fundamental research contribution of this work, is created to support both aims of the overall methodology. Providing designers with a customer...
