Concerned by the nuisances of motorized travel on urban life, policy makers are faced with the challenge of making cycling a more attractive alternative for everyday transportation. Despite the clear advantage of being healthy, cheap and sustainable, cycling yet fails to grow into more than a marginal mode of transport. One of the barriers lies […]

In Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging, X-ray radiation is used to penetrate through the internal structure of the patient body in order to produce digital images. Therefore patient could be exposed to certain level of X-ray radiation dose. Accumulation of these exposures beyond certain threshold could increase risk of fatal cancer. Thus it is of paramount […]

New emerging Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and mobile devices are changing the way that we are interacting with computing technology. The partner organization has a multimedia product that is used to train technicians to perform various maintenance tasks or introduce them to the interconnected components of a machine. The goal of this project is to […]

Information systems are critical assets for enterprises and contain important knowledge acquired over the years. Over time, as these software systems grow in scope and complexity, they introduce greater variability in design at the level of individual software components. As a result, these systems deviate from their initial architecture. The latter can no longer be […]

Physical visualizations are representations in which data is mapped to physical form, rather than the pixels or ink of traditional visualizations [6]. Creating such representations using tangible tiles (i.e. constructive physical visualization) is an accessible paradigm for visualization novices to construct representations [5]. Is this approach worth the greater time investment it requires over more […]

The company will further test and develop their algorithm that will assist a money manager in managing their stock market portfolio. The algorithm chooses the stocks to buy or sell based upon its analysis of the market and a number of other market and stock related data points. The performance of this algorithm will need […]

This research aims to evaluate mobile live broadcasting as an effective medium for artistic expression, through the use of real time video manipulation tools, like image filtering and visual effects. We will build a research platform to better understand the future of online real-time communications within the creative community of audiovisual artists. We ultimately want […]

The year 2017 marks the 375th anniversary of the foundation of the city of Montreal. The Laboratory of Remote Sensing, Department of Geography, Montreal University, and Esri Canada want to take part in the celebrations by offering to the Montreal community an interactive tool illustrating the historical evolution of the city of Montreal. To develop […]

Diabetes is a chronic disease with many complications including heart attack, stroke, amputations and blindness. Self-management of blood glucose and improving lifestyle are very important to prevent complications, but it is a very difficult task. We have been researching and developing GlucoGuide – an app that data-mines inputted diet and exercise data to give individual […]

In this project, the intern will develop an integrated patients and care givers scheduling system for the allocation of health care resources in community health care. This system provides patients with an online preference collecting interface for them to express their preferences on time, location, and care givers when estimating their service costs and booking […]

The following document explores the impact of visual language and new gesture-based tools to create prototypes that can be used in the final stages of production. With the contemporary ample use of different prototyping tools to create iOS applications, the interaction between designers and programmers is evolving based on what these tools allow. Small cross-function […]

User-authored annotations of data visualizations can support analysts in the activity of sense making, where it is not only critical to document observations and hypotheses, but also to communicate insights between analysts. As the size and complexity of data grow, so does the diversity of annotations. We propose to develop a visualization system that allows […]
