Demo: A QoE and visual attention evaluation on the influence of audio in 360° videos.
(IEEE, 2020-08-31)360° video, also known as immersive video, is the recording of video content which simultaneously captures scene information in every direction, using an omnidirectional camera. Due to their immersive nature, the popularity ... -
An exploration into the criteria used in assessing design activities with adaptive comparative judgment in technology education.
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-08)The use of design assignments for teaching, learning, and assessment is considered a signature of technology education. However, there are difficulties in the valid and reliable assessment of features of quality within ... -
A QoE evaluation of an immersive virtual reality autonomous driving experience.
(IEEE, 2020-05-26)The driver/passenger role in autonomous driving experiences is an important subject that is concerned with how these systems will interact and communicate with the human stakeholder. Even though self-driving technologies ... -
An Evaluation of Lower Facial Micro Expressions as an Implicit QoE Metric for an Augmented Reality Procedure Assistance Application.
(2020)Augmented reality (AR) has been identified as a key technology to enhance worker utility in the context of increasing automation of repeatable procedures. AR can achieve this by assisting the user in performing complex and ... -
A QoE Evaluation of an Augmented Reality Procedure Assistance Application
(2020-05)Augmented reality (AR) is a key technology to enhance worker effectiveness during increasing automation of repetitive jobs in the workplace. AR will achieve this by assisting the user to successfully perform complex and ... -
A quality of experience evaluation of an immersive virtual reality application developed to assess spatial auditory ability.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has proven to be a powerful tool to create immersive environments with high quality visual and auditory experiences. Moreover, it can be used as an effective application ... -
An Evaluation of the Effects of Flipped Classroom Pre-Laboratory Activities on Students's Engagement with Laboratory Learning
(2020)A key goal of Institutes of Technology (IoTs) is to produce workplace-ready graduates who have the technical and practical skills to solve real world problems. Consequentially, the practical element of a module is a powerful ... -
A comparative study of machine learning techniques for emotion recognition from peripheral physiological signals.
(IEEE, 2020-06)Recent developments in wearable technology have led to increased research interest in using peripheral physiological signals for emotion recognition. The non-invasive nature of peripheral physiological signal measurement ... -
The importance and usefulness of comparative judgement for education assessment.
(ResearchED, 2019-02)While comparative judgement has now been around for a number of years, it continues to be used in a variety of new ways and across multiple subjects. Jeffrey has specific experience using comparative judgement in design ... -
Ability levels, implicit theories of intelligence, cognitive load, and fluid intelligence: an exploration into the correlation between spatial ability and STEM education.
(ResearchED, 2018-03-10)Decades of empirical evidence demonstrates the correlation between spatial ability and STEM education. However, a causal relationship is yet to be confirmed. This talk will present empirical data concerning this relationship ... -
Engineering education research methods to determine conceptions of engineers and of engineering.
(EERN, 2019-05)Engineering education research has been categorised into the five research areas of ‘engineering epistemologies’, ‘engineering learning mechanisms’, ‘engineering learning systems’, engineering diversity and inclusiveness’, ... -
Investigating perceptions of intelligence as an approach to understanding female representation in technology and engineering education.
(TERG, 2019-06)Gender representation in technology and engineering education is generally not equitable with females being underrepresented in many areas (e.g. Sultan, Axell, & Hallström, 2018; Yoder, 2017). While there are many perspectives ... -
Framing the constructive alignment of design within technology subjects in general education.
(Springer, 2020-05-27)Design is core element of general technology education internationally. While there is a degree of contention with regards to its treatment, there is general consensus that the inclusion of design in some form is important, ... -
The need to consider the predictive capacity of intelligence and its malleability within design and technology education research.
(Springer, 2020-05-14)General intelligence is a fundamental human capacity with significant educational implications. However, it is often not considered in educational research despite substantial evidence illustrating its association with ... -
Continuous affect prediction using eye gaze and speech.
(IEEE, 2017-12)Affective computing research traditionally focused on labeling a person's emotion as one of a discrete number of classes e.g. happy or sad. In recent times, more attention has been given to continuous affect prediction ... -
Speech intelligibility and quality: a comparative study of speech enhancement algorithms.
(IEEE, 2017-07)Mobile devices are widely used today for speech communication. The environments in which these devices are used are widely varied and often the level of background noise in the speaker's environment can be significant. The ... -
Introducing PyCross: PyCloudy rendering of shape software for pseudo 3D ionisation modelling of nebulae.
(Elsevier, 2020-04-29)Research into the processes of photoionised nebulae plays a significant part in our understanding of stellar evolution. It is extremely difficult to visually represent or model ionised nebula, requiring astronomers to ... -
