The goal of this internship is to provide the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Attorney General’s Information Technology team with a set of recommendations identifying the key factors in support of a business case to be presented to the Minister in 2009. The business case will delineate key initiatives related to the design, development […]

Computer‐Aided Design (CAD) systems have matured into comprehensive environments that enable designers to efficiently represent and refine their designs. Parametric modeling, in which a design can be easily altered after it is made, is a major recent development in the building sector of the CAD industry. Bentley's Generative Components (GC) is a one such system. […]

This project is a continuation of last year’s project in which a backend system was design to calculate Fit Brains fitness index that is a way by which Fit Brains can assess clients’ progress. Now that the system has been designed it needs to be implemented, that is each game and database has to be […]

This internship proposes an abstract model, based on a local of the node where the users are located, instead of a global navigable map. This model is concerned about satisfying users’ transactional need to compare modes of transportation and the costs and outcome of each mode, rather than understanding contextual information about each POI (location). […]

The average person manages uncertainty on a daily basis, from determining whether to invest in a particular stock to predicting the outcome of a baseball game. However, in some cases, such as that of Boeing safety analysis, the consequences can be much larger. When people’s lives are at stake, effective tools to manage and communicate […]

This multiple]internship project aims at three applications: BCHydro's continuing efforts to encourage energy conserving actions by its clients and customers through its PowerSmart program, the City of Vancouverfs sustainability program and Team Northfs entry to the 2009 Solar Decathlon competition. Each internship will produce a prototype and/or presentation with the intent to use these results, […]

The research will result in a working prototype of an innovative two-way, high-resolution video and audio communications system, codenamed "GLASS". The prototype is to utilize projection technologies developed by Christie Digital Systems, video cameras, audio capture and playback components, and synchronization software developed by the intern. The system will allow people to communicate over any […]

Developing efficient and effective evaluation strategies for measuring video game quality is an important open problem in today’s game industry. Standard methods within the industry rely on surveys and interviews to evaluate engagement of their games and to uncover design flaws. In this proposal, we investigate different types of methods that a game company can […]

The game user research field has been increasingly gaining popularity within the video game industry that is interested in applying scientific research to better understand their audiences and optimize the quality of their game experiences. Quantitative approaches are important due to their utility in generating non-biased data concerning emotional responses, engagement, and in-game behaviors. This […]

  Radiologists require highly optimized computer workstation software to efficiently perform their diagnostic workflow. McKesson Medical Imaging Group’s PACS system has evolved over two decades of workflow enhancements. However, mouse and keyboard human- computer interaction remains a fundamental limitation for radiologists to fully engage with the data. This project will provide results based on experimental […]
