Face Interface : a methodology for experimental learning of input modalities
… representation of the face which mirrors the user's facial gestures appears to solve problems in teaching a user to use the new input affordances of face-based interfaces. From experiences with the Attentive Interaction Design Toolkit, "Attention Meter," a methodology for helping the user …

Space and consequences: the influence of learning spaces on student development and communication
… standpoint, this study sought to explore how the design of learning spaces influences three outcomes of student development and communication: 1) student dialogue and community building, 2) interactive learning, and 3) socialization into future professions. McArthur's (2011) paradigm of …

Garment Design Workflows for On-Demand Machine Knitting
… software being sufficiently accessible to the user. Unfortunately, current knitting software is typically closed and relies mostly on low-level programming. The lack of standardization and more accessible, higher-level user design tools effectively hinder the possibility of a digital, on-demand …

Cross-cultural recommender system use and design
… However, despite their pervasive presence, the user interface design, and the way in which products are recommended, these systems are relatively similar across cultures. Across three studies, I explored how culturally informed cues, both social and visual, affect preferences for a recommender …

Directive-Based Data Partitioning and Pipelining and Auto-Tuning for High-Performance GPU Computing
… device without overlapping or requiring explicit user design and refactoring. Achieving performance can require extensive refactoring and hand-tuning to apply data transfer optimizations, and users must manually partition their dataset whenever its size is larger than device memory, which can be …
