Updated Project Idea

by

Topic: Augmented Reality to enhance campus tour experience Advisor: Xunfei Jiang I would like to develop an interactive and informative mobile application that will assist the prospies and other outside visitors during their campus visits with the use of Augmented Reality. By using Augmented Reality’s ability to create virtual overlays on the mobile screens, I would like to provide … Read more

New Project Proposal

by

Now that I have a better understanding of what I want (and need) to do, here’s the first draft of my new plan: Using the 3D motion tracking data of the Microsoft Kinect, our goal is to create a virtual conductor application that uses gesture recognition algorithms in order to detect beats and control the … Read more

Project Topic

I have chosen to do my senior project on data compression and my adviser for the project will be Xunfei Jiang. Data compression is the concept of compressing data to fit into a smaller space.  Lossless compression is when when some form of data, like a video file, is compressed into less space with no … Read more

Project Idea (Charlie is the Advisor): Developing some sort of hardware/software combination that would allow for monitoring of washers and dryers on Earlham’s campus. I would then create an app of some sort so that students could go on to the app and be able to 1) get notifications when a machine is done 2) … Read more

Topic Statement

by

Deeksha Srinath Senior Seminar Topic Statement Advisor: Charlie Peck   My interest in how social media today is influencing our lives influenced my topic. I will be working to design a unified data model for Facebook and Twitter data. I will be doing this in order to be able to query a pool of data … Read more

Project Topic

by

For my Senior Research, my topic will be a data mining project using data collected from Twitter. Twitter’s API offers 1% of a spatial bandwidth (in my case, the continental U.S.A.) for users to collect. This data has been collected for over 3 years, and represents well over one billion tweets. Of these, a significant … Read more

Revised Project Proposal

by

. . ., but it may be revised again soon. Our goal is to make a 3D rhythm game that would, among other possible applications, teach players the gestural motions of an orchestral conductor and act as a teacher for conducting music. The basic gameplay is that at certain points in the music, the game … Read more

Senior Project in HCI

by

Big Picture Topic: Software Interfaces and Human Behavior Adviser: Charlie Peck Description While this requires some additional refinement, I’ve settled on the general topic and hope to incorporate some of my interests from the other topics along the way. I will study how interfaces affect interactions between humans and computers. There is a rich history in … Read more

Updated Project Idea

by

Intelligent Personal Assistant for Medicine Research Supervisor: Dave Barbella I want to build a software (potentially mobile application) that acts as an intelligent personal assistant for medical purpose. The inspiration comes from modern programs like Siri, but instead of being a general purpose, I want it to have a narrower focus (i.e. medicine). While I … Read more

Potential Project Ideas

Connecting a seemingly similar history to a surprisingly variable present With this project, I would examine how a set of nations (a subset of Scandinavian nations) that are today relatively homogeneous in terms of race and economic capacity have vastly differing attitudes and policies around immigration and integration of immigrants. This interest developed as I … Read more

Ideas

by

I’m primarily interested in human-computer interaction (HCI) and, extending the notion further, how the principles of computer science, when applied through software or social networks, produce changes in human behavior. In general I’m drawing my thoughts from behavioral economics, network theory, research into user experience of software, and the general principles of software engineering and structuring … Read more

Potential Projects (UPDATED: SEP21)

by

UPDATED IDEA: Object Recognition and Tracking for Augmented Reality While exploring more about Augmented Reality and AR-based applications currently circulating on the internet, I have seen limitations of Augmented Reality, especially in object recognition and tracking. I would like to see the current status of the capability of object recognition and tracking technologies available and … Read more

1.)  Data Compression I am interested in how data is represented as MPEG, JPEG, and other file formats, and how this data can be used to display an image or video.  In particular, I am interested in the compression algorithms used to store this data in a smaller space, with little or no loss in … Read more

Topic: bioinformatics to track ones health: The goal of this research is to be able to use ones personal health data to track and display a time line of ones health progress. By first gathering relevant data from various inputs, this software will be able to organize and store all the data. Second is the display of … Read more

Facial Recognition Facial recognition is something that we as human beings have been doing since the beginning of time. We have also become masters at identifying a person’s mood or emotion simply by looking at their facial expression. Today, we have harnessed the powers of artificial intelligence and are now able to apply it to … Read more

Some of this is copy and pasted from the email I sent last spring, but anyway, here’s my two project ideas: Expanding on the research that I have been doing with Forrest, I hope to make a 3D rhythm game that just uses two Raspberry Pi infrared (NoIR) cameras as well as one infrared sensor … Read more

Possible research: Spatial computational resource allocation see also: CyberGIS’16 panel Data structures are fundamental to the efficiency of algorithms pertaining to transfer and storage, computation, and visualization. Parallel and distributed computing comes in many implementations whose purposes vary greatly. Using centralized computing networks, new resources are available to more institutions, however the bridge between onsite … Read more
