Les logiciels actuels de DHM (Digital Human Modeling ou d’ergonomie virtuelle) destinés à la conception de situations de travail et de produits demeurent difficiles à utiliser ce qui en limite grandement l’utilisation par les concepteurs et les ergonomes. Pourtant, l’utilisation plus répandue de DHM permettrait d’en arriver à des environnements de travail plus sécuritaires et […]

With the growing application of learning-based technology in image recognition, speech translation, and other back-end systems like ad advertising, artificial intelligence (AI) has finally moved from research labs to real business. As AI moves closer to reality, it is expected to help us more in more personalized and even critical contexts, like smart home, autonomous […]

The Nisga’a Business Alliance Corporation is creating a strategy for economic development activities within the Nation and requires innovative business research to facilitate this initiative. As such, this research cluster is comprised of six projects: • Project 1: Commercial Recreation Tenure Investigation • Project 2: Harbour Enhancement Feasibility Study • Project 3: Nisga’a Nation Tourism […]

IMAX is a Canadian-born invention that has had little scholarly investigation despite its continued commercial success. The importance of this research project stems from the lack of scholarly research about the beginnings of IMAX as a Canadian-born invention and its place within the history media technology. In celebration of IMAX’s 50th anniversary, The Public Access […]

Dymedso is willing to introduce a new technology for sound-wave generation therapy that addresses some issues identified by patients and caregivers over the past years of use in clinical practice. The identified issues involve ergonomic and performance limitations. For instance, the current version of the device is still cumbersome for patient use. Thus, for more […]

This is a documentary and web project that will focus on the pharmaceutical industry, specifically new approaches that may enable better development and delivery of drugs to underserved populations. The documentary and website will explore the major issues involved in the production of pharmaceuticals, both in Canada and around the world. Specifically, the project will […]

La réalité augmentée consiste à superposer des éléments virtuels à notre réalité, soit au niveau visuel ou auditif. En réalité augmentée, l’ajout d’un avatar à un environnement virtuel comporte plusieurs défis jusqu’alors non présents pour d’autres médias comme les écrans 2D ou la réalité virtuelle. En effet, l’avatar est exposé au monde réel de l’utilisateur […]

Le présent projet vise à mettre sur pied un outil d’intervention utilisant la réalité virtuelle afin de favoriser le développement de saines habiletés sociales et affectives chez les adolescents. En collaboration avec la Fondation Jasmin Roy, le stagiaire sera ainsi appelé à participer à la création de scénarios sociaux qui seront projetés par le biais […]

Environ 360 000 travailleurs québécois sont quotidiennement exposés à des niveaux de bruit susceptibles d’engendrer des problèmes d’audition. Les protections auditives individuelles sont utilisées afin de réduire les risques de surdité, mais des inconforts associés à leur port poussent les utilisateurs à les retirer, même brièvement, et diminue ainsi grandement leur efficacité. Ce projet s’intéresse […]

Head-mounted display (HMD) lenses can include a high degree of scattering (ghosting) which reduces brightness and contrast, and is distracting to the user. This can directly impact the utility of the device, if for instance some of the display is illegible because of excess light scatter and blurring. In this research, we want to investigate […]

The proposed project aims to address several challenges that the nursery robots made by AIS Inc. is grappling with. The project tasks are divided into two subprojects: 1) optimizing the electrical and control systems for the AIS robots, and 2) designing a multi-agent system to allow collaboration among the robots. The first subproject consists of […]

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging modality which can visualize the internal structure of the human body and is free of radiation. In this project, we would like to write a multi-functional and robust MRI software package using ultrashort echo time (UTE) technique to realize the imaging of the tissues, such as tendons, ligaments, […]
