I-CubeX Software Usability and Application (ISUA)

This research aims to identify, develop and evaluate software tools that increase usability of I-CubeX sensor instrumentation for research and application in both interactive media as well as behavioural science. The complexity that impeded usability concerns various aspects: sensor and interface management (location, state, etc.), sensor and actuator transmission protocols (analog, digital, etc.), sensor signal processing (peak, average, etc.), sensor signal feature mapping methods, routing to media control protocols (MIDI, OSC, COM, etc.), interaction design approach and behavioural research methodology. While many of these issues can be addressed by some tool or another, the complexity is overwhelming for many and hence usability is often low. In this project the I-CubeX software in interactives design for exhibits, behavior measurement and neurophysiological control will be addressed. The benefit for the partner company, Infusion Systems, an active contributor to Canadian culture and employer of Canadians, would be the improved competetiveness of I-CubeX products…….
