+ | good math skills, knowledge of C and MATLAB programming languages | ||
- | **Recommended Background**: Java software development | + | One of the challenges in remote learning is to allow students to communicate effectively with the lecturer. |
+ | |||
+ | The goal of this project is to apply attentive sensing technology (www.elderlab.yorku.ca) to this problem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In particular, working with a senior graduate student or postdoctoral fellow, the successful applicant will: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Study the problem of detecting hand-raises in the preattentive sensor stream | ||
+ | - Implement algorithms for detecting hand-raises based upon this investigation | ||
+ | - Evaluate these algorithms in a real-classroom setting, using proprietary attentive sensing technology | ||
- | Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a statistical technique that is becoming increasingly popular in the educational and behavioral sciences. SEM allows researchers to test the validity of hypothesized models involving complex relationships among multiple variables. Collected data is used to estimate the parameters of the equations and assessing the fit of the model. | ||
- | The software required is an application that allows researchers to define their hypothesized models visually and will output the correct syntax | + | ====== Attentive Sensing |
- | To date a promising functional application has been developed in JAVA by a Computer Science student as a 4080 project. The existing software allows the user to draw a path diagram and outputs code for the R package sem. There are a number of improvements to be made (refinements and additions to graphical user interface) and then the application needs to be extended to output syntax appropriate for additional software applications (openMX, MPlus and EQS). Though this project may not begin at “the first stages” of the software lifecycle, this scenario is likely common in the software development market. In addition, the student will be working with a primary “client” who is far less technically advanced, which is also reflective of real-world situations. | + | **Supervisor**: |

- | ====== YUsend Thermal Vacuum | + | |
+ | The goal of this project is to modify York University’s patented attentive sensor technology to the sport video recording market. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The general problem is to use attentive sensing technology | ||
+ | |||
+ | The student will work with senior graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research scientists to help modify the attentive sensing technology to operate in these domains. | ||

- | **Required Background**: Eiffel software development method | + | **Required Background:** General 408X prerequisites, |
- | **Description** Game playing frameworks in Eiffel such as Eiffelmedia usually wrap C frameworks in Eiffel. The goal of this project | + | This project implements and evaluates a new method for 3D Rotation where the user uses both a 2D and 3D user interface to complete the task. The fundamental idea is to use the 3D interface for large-scale manipulation, but the 2D interface for precise adjustments. The project will use a Leap Motion or similar technology |
