For my final year dissertation, I have developed a piece of wearable technology that uses sewn circuits and LEDs in order to display the wearer’s interaction preferences. Keywords Human Computer Interaction, Wearables,…
Unicode is designed to allow text in any language and in any writing system to be represented, displayed, copied and searched, regardless of the platform. Since recently, Unicode can also handle ancient Egyptian…
Vintage clothing presents a technical challenge for image-recognition systems because garments require interpretation of physical attributes, silhouettes, and era-specific features. This project designed an AI tool to…
Older adults often face more uncertainty when using digital services, especially in multi-step tasks such as buying train tickets or paying for parking. The lack of opportunities to practise makes these tasks more…
Sensors are a great way to collect information in the field. Traditional sensors operate as data loggers whose results must be collected periodically; more recent devices have used wifi to return data automatically,…
Standardised academic research data sharing between institutions remains an unsolved problem. At present, there is no universal standard for transferring data between universities, with researchers commonly resorting…
Modern neural networks generate huge lists of numbers to represent digital objects (images, text etc) which allow us to measure similarity among them using a well-defined mathematical function. The size of the lists…
An interactive display showing students coursework who are undertaking the ‘Interactive Hardware & Software’ module. Students were asked to imagine a local museum had commissioned them to create a tangible interactive…
Constraint programming is a way of solving complex problems by stating a set of rules (called constraints) and asking a solver to find solutions that obey all of them, without ever needing to state how to solve the…
The Carpentries (https://carpentries.org/) is a unique global volunteer-based community which teaches foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide. In The Carpentries at St Andrews…
