Ryerson’s Synaesthetic Media Lab is working with Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group’s creative design studio, 4U2C, to develop several ways for audiences to meaningfully interact with live performance. This project is looking at how tracking sensors, computer vision, and digital displays can be used to track audience movements and/or emotions for audiences to be able […]

How do you build trust with an audience expecting a factual, reported story while adding elements of performance to it? This research project explores the potential of the live stage for non-fiction narrative. By experimenting with different models of audience-focused experiences, it aims to answer questions like: How can live journalism rebuild trust between the […]

This project aims to develop an automated ability capable of detecting faults with pumps. This is referred as “Automated Fault Detection and Diagnosis” (AFDD). Equipment performance begins to worsen throughout time due to various reasons, where these reasons are referred to as “faults”. Generally, there is an understanding of the various faults and causes for […]

The proposed project is part of a larger effort to develop more suitable conceptual design methodologies for aircraft that account for the complex aerodynamic interactions of novel concepts, for example as present with distributed propulsion concepts. For the project an advanced aerodynamic code will be integrated in an existing larger design methodology. The advantages will […]

The proposed research work is aimed at developing trajectory data on a real-time basis. On successful completion of the project, a real-time image processing framework will be available for developing innumerable trajectory datasets over the study sections. These datasets can enormously boost current driving behavior studies and facilitate Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) research. Along with […]

Over the recent years, cryptocurrencies have attracted tremendous amount of attention from both general public and professional investors as a new asset class. However, trading activities of cryptocurrencies are extremely fragmented and unregulated in most of countries around the world. The proposed research project aims to empirically study the microstructure of cryptocurrency exchanges in order […]

For profit companies can exercise influence over public politics: Advertisers withdraw funds from media programs and media outlets, companies move service centres and offices, companies stop providing services to certain clients. This research will perform a series of comparative case studies, using publicly available commercial communication and interviews with industry professionals to understand how for-profit […]

This project aims at solving the difficult problems faced by indoor positioning and related issues, which are part of the future development direction. For different positioning environments and positioning requests, the project will explore the corresponding positioning schemes, conversion mechanism sand switching strategies. The project will use the geomagnetic-based technology that does not require additional […]

This project will address the problem of time-window parameter adaptation in the process of sequence association rules mining. During the proposed internship in Canada, the main task will be to develop the method and algorithm for implementing time-window adaptive parameters. The advantage of the algorithm is that the identification of events does not rely on […]

Extensive development in south Etobicoke resulted in creeks historically viewed as a nuisance being buried, culverted or piped underground. However, creeks don’t just disappear, during large rainfall or snowmelt events. These buried creeks have been found to be a catalyst for flooding and reduce water quality because of reductions in storage and absorption of stormwater […]

The mining industry directly employs more than 426,000 workers across the Canada and contributed $97 billion to Canada’s GDP in 2017. However, mining workers are exposed to five-fold higher occupational hazards than the industrial average. Reliable underground communication is essential to alleviate incidents and escalate rescue operations. However, wireless communications in mines is a big […]

How a company today contributes to the environmental and social well-being of society is becoming a more important part of their business activities. Many large companies have an environmental, social and governance (ESG) policy which guides them on making their business activities contribute to environmental and social sustainability of the planet. But what about businesses […]
