Virtual Appearance in Congenial Environments for Children

Lab:

The rise of ubiquitous technology has resulted in opportunities for the design of new interactive museum exhibits that can be customized to families. Children's museums can be engaging, informal settings in which children learn fundamental science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts through hands-on experiences.

Offline Mobile Media Sharing

Lab:

TanDEm

This study examines different aspects of media sharing within Mobile Vaani - an Android app that displays crowdsourced news recordings from rural communities in many states in India. We have developed a feature that facilitates offline sharing of these new recordings, in light of the relatively high cost of mobile data in the areas where Mobile Vaani is most used.

HealthSmart: A Mobile Recorder for Behavioral Health Homes

Lab:

Interactive Media Technology Center (IMTC)

Poor quality of medical care is a major contributor to excess medical morbidity and premature mortality in persons with serious mental illnesses (SMI). To address this problem, community mental health providers are increasingly partnering with safety net medical providers to develop behavioral health homes, integrated clinics in which persons with SMI receive coordinated medical and mental health care. However, behavioral health homes have faced logistical and privacy challenges in integrating electronic medical records across organizations.
