Awareness and Immersion in Small-Group Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) allows us to add virtual artifacts into the physical world. For example, we can place a 3D medieval castle onto the floor of a classroom, allowing students to explore it. AR supports collaborative learning since students can all see the same virtual artifact, and can interact using natural gestures like pointing. In this project, we will investigate two techniques to improve small-group AR. First, we will provide user interface cues to help users understand where other users are looking and pointing to enhance awareness of others’ activities in the AR space. Then we will investigate the use of sound and video to increase immersion in the game. This work will be performed in the context of ongoing development of an AR educational game on the effect of climate in medieval southern England.

A Comparison of Calibration Methods for Gas Pressure Gauge Testing

Accuracy of gas pressure gauge measurements is important to ensure that gas companies bill their customers accurately.
There are also safety implications since what is being measured is a flammable substance. Calibration is typically used to
ensure that measurements taken by a gas pressure gauge do not drift far from the correct values: pressure measurements
are taken with the device being calibrated and with a device that is known to give very accurate readings; differences between
the two sets of readings are used to make corrections. A possible improvement in the calibration method will be developed
and compared with the current method in the hope of obtaining improved accuracy.

Santevia – Social Media Intern, Product Initiatives Intern – Hannah & Kanako

Santevia Water Systems designs, manufactures and distributes mineralized and naturally alkaline water filtration products that help people get healthy. Our small but rapidly growing company is located in Delta, BC and is made up of forward-thinking, active, and tech-savvy individuals. Most water filters don’t have what you need to thrive. Good water doesn’t just mean free from contaminants. As a small but growing business, our goal is to continue to grow our brand awareness while also continuing to expand our product offering. Both brand awareness and product development will help us achieve our revenue targets. The challenge we currently face is that we have a small but busy marketing and product team, and are challenged to give social media and product development the time they need to thrive and grow. Having a dedicated intern focused on Social Media and Product Management will support our growth targets.

Business Strategy Internship

Feeding strategies to enhance the sustainability of pig production

Novel feeding strategies may be effective alternatives for mitigating the environmental impacts of pig production. Lowering dietary crude protein levels, optimizing nutrient use efficiency, and the use of exogenous enzymes are some nutritional strategies recognized to decrease the use of feed ingredients with high environmental impacts, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other harmful components. However, little is still known about the potential environmental impacts of producing pig feeds through the comparisons of different feeding strategies. Therefore, this research project aims to assess feeding strategies that can mitigate the environmental impacts of pig production. This project will propose improved feeding practices to ensure the resilience and sustainability of pig production. On one hand, this research will help the sector to reduce GHG emissions towards net-zero emissions to increase its resilience. On the other hand, this project will also help the swine industry optimize the use of nitrogen and phosphorus throughout the production chain.

Développement de solutions de décontamination du matelas fibreux lors de la fabrication de panneaux de bois

Les nouvelles technologies peuvent entrainer un développement énorme aux industries, en particulier pour ceux qui savent en tirer profit. Dans ce cadre et pour des objectifs de concurrence sur le marché mondial, les usines de transformation de bois cherchent toujours à des solutions technologiques innovantes pour améliorer la qualité de ses produits (panneaux de lamelles orientées).
En fait, lors de la fabrication de ces panneaux plusieurs contaminants (ex. les métaux, les morceaux de pierre, etc.) peuvent être présents. Ces contaminants (corps étrangers) endommager les presses de panneaux tout en causant des brûlures à la surface du panneau. Les fabricants de panneaux cherchent à sécuriser leurs équipements par la détection et l’extraction des contaminants qui peuvent apparaitre durant le processus de transformation.
Ainsi ce projet vise à chercher des solutions pour la décontamination du matelas de lamelles de bois selon trois étapes successives : détecter, localiser et extraire les contaminants avant l’opération de pressage à chaud du matelas.
Les techniques d’inspection non destructive (i.e. l’analyse par les micro-ondes, Térahertz, et les méthodes ultrasons) seront utilisées pour évaluer leur capacité en détection des contaminants intercalés dans échantillons préparés de façon similaire à celle de nos partenaires industriels.

Optimizing data collection and analysis processes in the Canadian homelessness sector: Review of the literature and analysis of options

Non-profits in the homelessness sector, especially smaller ones, tend to collect, analyze and use limited amounts of data: occupancy rates, numbers of meals served, etc. In order to better serve their clients, and to manage their organization more effectively, a more robust approach to capturing and analyzing data on client characteristics, satisfaction and outcomes is needed. This project will : (1) summarize what the scientific literature reports concerning the advantages and disadvantages of different ways of collecting, analyzing and using data in social services non-profits; (2) ascertain, by interviewing 5 to 7 non-profits with exemplary data practices, just what these practices are; and (3) in addition, find out how organizations that have used the Canadian federal Homeless Individuals and Families Information System assess its advantages and disadvantages. The results will help the partner organization, The Open Door Montréal, design a data collection strategy adapted to its size and needs.

Création de gabarit d’extraction de données semi-structurée de documents par méthodes d’apprentissage machine.

Cette recherche consiste en l’application de techniques d’intelligence artificielle pour créer des gabarit qui serviront à l’extraction de données de formulaires (en format images ou PDF) dans le domaine de la gestion. Une combinaison de méthodes d’apprentissage automatique (intelligence artificielle) et de méthode d’ingénierie traditionnelles seront utilisés pour ce projet. Il est également fort possible que de nouvelles méthodes d’apprentissage automatique soient créés. De façon plus détaillée, ce projet consiste en l’extraction des données de factures et autres documents afin de les stocker ultérieurement de façon automatisée dans des bases de données. Le système doit permettre l’extraction des données de documents multilingues.

Understanding Catalyst Ink Interactions and Aging Effects for High-Volume Fuel Cell Production

The increased global demand for energy coupled with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has rendered the development of the hydrogen economy a top priority for governments internationally. In Canada, the goal is for hydrogen to provide up to 30% of the energy demand by 2050. In this context, the devices required for hydrogen energy systems, such as fuel cells, must be produced using cost effective, scalable methods. The proposed project will form a new research partnership between Unilia (Canada) Fuel Cells and Simon Fraser University to conduct strategic research investigations aimed to design better catalyst inks and coating approaches to improve the quality and reduce the cost of high-volume fuel cell manufacturing.
