  • Development of a Mobile Application for Android Platforms

    Creator:
    Hayden, Levi G.
    Abstract:
    The ability to develop mobile applications for smartphones and tablets is an increasingly valuable skill in today’s labor market. This thesis details the development of the mobile application Drone Drop from beginning to finish. I first describe the background research conducted to learn about programming languages and other tools used...

  • Using Web Services for Image Processing in a Desktop Widgets Engine

    Creator:
    Le, Hien
    Abstract:
    Desktop widget engines have emerged as an alternative for completing simple tasks without the need for a full-blown application or constant user interaction. Widgets can simply display data in a compact and visually appealing manner (such as stock tickers, weather forecasts, and news notifications), or go so far as to...

  • Evolving character controllers for collision preparation

    Creator:
    Rose, Robert W.
    Abstract:
    Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the response before...

  • Visual Analysis of Attorney Case Portfolios Over Time

    Creator:
    Nambirajan, Surendar
    Abstract:
    While individual portfolio diversity analysis is a well-studied problem in visualization, the visual analysis of individual or groups of portfolios, over time, has received little attention. Such analysis, however, is important to researchers who are interested in better understanding portfolio management behavior of experts as well as novices. We conducted...

  • Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

    Creator:
    Pham, Tuan N. T.
    Abstract:
    The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...

  • Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...

  • Interactive Methods for Authoring Behaviors of Multiple Agents

    Creator:
    Iyer, Vikram
    Abstract:
    Virtual environments and simulations are being used increasingly to both visualize and understand data as well as to create scenarios for training and analysis purposes. In this paper, we are interested in the use of simulation and visualization of interactive virtual agents to create realistic motions for training scenarios. We...

  • A data-driven model of pedestrian movement

    Creator:
    Casburn, Ledah
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a model for simulating individual pedestrian motion based on empirical data. The model keeps track of a pedestrian’s position, orientation, and body configuration and leverages motion capture data to generate plausible motion. Our model can automatically incorporate a pedestrian’s physical limitations when making movement decisions, since it...

  • Visualizing oceanographic data using a cluster of Sony Playstation2s

    Creator:
    Yoon, Irwin
    Abstract:
    A cluster of computers can be used to render large amounts of data at very high resolutions. One application of clusters is scientific visualization, which often involves the display of large data sets. This paper describes a prototype system that allows oceanographers to interactively view oceanographic data using a cluster...

  • Studies to inform a visual language for authoring interactive exercise prescriptions

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Communicating dynamic motion content, such as exercise, with a static medium, such as paper, is difficult. The technology exists for presenting 3D animated exercise content to patients; however, the tools for allowing exercise domain experts to effectively author the content do not exist. We conducted two formative studies with exercise...
