MTAGIC Project: Investigating new touchscreen devices for children
In a previous post on the MTAGIC project, we presented results of a study that found that interface complexity (simple, abstract interface vs. complex interface) affected children’s performance of some touch interactions and did not affect gesture interactions on smartphone… Read More
TIDESS Museum Learning Project: Grant funding and prototype changes!
Since the last update , we have been funded by the National Science Foundation under the Advancing Informal STEM Learning program (Check out this blog post!)! This funding will enable TIDESS to investigate how children and adults can engage with… Read More
MTAGIC Project: Tabletop collaboration
We are currently extending our previous research [1,2,3] on children’s touch and gesture interaction patterns to interactive tabletop computers as well as looking at the collaboration between children on the multi-touch tabletop. We are looking at how to scaffold positive… Read More
Understanding Gestures Project: ICMI paper accepted!
In a previous post, we discussed our ongoing work on studying children’s gestures. We studied a corpus of children’s and adults’ gestures and analyzed 22 different articulation features, which we are pleased to announce has been accepted for publication at… Read More
Museum Learning project is now NSF funded!
After much pilot work, the IPES/TGIL Museum Learning Project (now TIDESS, see below) has now received funding from the National Science Foundation to continue our work! We will be funded under the Advancing Informal STEM Learning program, and will be… Read More
Pose Project: Next steps…
In our previous post, we mentioned that our paper “is the motion of a child perceivably different from the motion of an adult?” will be published in the Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) journal. The paper focused on investigating if… Read More
MTAGIC Project: Co-Designing intelligent interfaces with children
As seen in our previous research [1, 2, 3], recognition of children’s gesture input is not as accurate as it is for adults, and children have more difficulty with touch interactions. These findings show that intelligent user interfaces such as… Read More
POSE Project: TAP paper presented at SAP2016.
In our last post, we shared the news that our POSE project paper “Is the motion of a child perceivably different than the motion of an adult?” was accepted to the journal, ACM Transactions on Applied Perception. We had actually… Read More
POSE Project: TAP paper accepted!
In a previous post, we talked about a project in which we were using the Kinect to track the motion of children and adults. We took the motion we captured and conducted an applied perception study, which we are pleased… Read More
