People with episodic memory impairment (EMI) lack an awareness of the actions, events and experiences of their everyday lives. This often results in confu...

Magnetic levitation is a substantially new approach which promises a qualitative leap in improvement of haptic (sense of touch) computer interactions. A u...

We are interested in understanding what a machine learning system could ask a user to improve its performance and when it is appropriate to ask the user. ...

Applications that behave proactively on a user’s behalf, particularly those that react to implicit user context, need to be intelligible to end users, exp...

Informedia is applying automated video and audio indexing and video portal development in support of oral history collections, based on pioneering work re...

Context-aware systems adapt to users’ context of use. We are investigating novel interaction techniques to support end-users in building their own context...

Building Virtual Worlds is not only taught to encourage working with other disciplines, but also is an experience with tools and process. Students use the...

This project investigates how the power of machine learning technology can be put in the hands of end-users, allowing them to selectively automate the mun...

Much of the research on 3D interaction, particularly for immersive virtual environments, focuses on emulating the real world. Emulating the real world is ...

Currently, it is hard to manage privacy and security in mobile and pervasive computing environments, both for system administrators and end-users. We are ...

Systems enabling large audiences to interact offer numerous possibilities for entertainment, education, and team building. We are developing interaction t...

StepGreen is an umbrella project that brings together faculty and research from several disciplines including behavioral science, environmental engineerin...

The goal of Marmite is to make it easy to create "mashups" that combine content from multiple web sites and web services. Marmite lets end-users extract c...

inTouch is a mobile messaging platform that provides group-based communities (such as families, research work groups, carpools, etc) a better way to coord...

Most route recommendation systems ignore the context of the driver (e.g. time of day) and the preferences of the driver (e.g. like to avoid highways). Not...

A large percentage of the US population is overweight or obese, and a leading cause of this is lack of physical activity. Early fieldwork has shown that u...

This project explores how gaze, speech and sound, small movements, gesture, and proximity to the user affects the way that we perceive and work with socia...

We are working to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that automatically detect a user’s needs in order to automatically adjust the interface to accom...

CareMedia uses behavioral capture, storage, and access techniques to create, maintain, and present a patient’s behavioral log to care-givers. Our current ...

Signs are everywhere in our lives. They make our lives easier when we understand them, but they can pose problems or even danger when we do not. Automatic...

People who engage regularly with technology interact with hundreds of visual, auditory, and multimodal displays each day. These displays, which have been ...

The ASSISTMENTs project provides students with individualized instructional ASSISTance while performing assessMENT. The research goal is to investigate wh...

This project focuses on supporting the wakeup routine of dual-income parents. One of the first pieces we are focusing on is an alarm clock that helps keep...

Project description: Proximity generally increases the likelihood of personal and work relationships, and geographic mobility disrupts them. Is this true ...

A call during dinner? While one party may value the conversation, the receiver thinks it is an interruption. This project examines the conditions under wh...
