Facebook Review

Lab:

We have created a visualization that presents one week of a person's Facebook messages and notifications. The focus here is to allow someone to quickly catch up with what has been going on in their feed, which messages were "hot", who has been active, etc. The tool leverages a number of different visualization techniques and can benefit from a very large display.

Cycle Atlanta

Lab:

Participatory Publics Lab

Fifty percent of all trips are 3 miles or less, yet only 1.8% of those trips are biked. Meanwhile, 35.7% of US adults are obese and the transportation sector accounts for 32% of US greenhouse gases. One of the main reasons citizens do not use the healthier mode of cycling is due to a lack of safe infrastructure‚ dedicated bicycle routes, roads with bicycle lanes, and other designated bicycle facilities. The City of Atlanta has a desire to put proper cycling infrastructure in place but needs better information from citizens about where they currently and would like to cycle.

RERC TechSage: SmartBathroom

Lab:

Aware Home Research Initiative

The needs and abilities of people who are aging with progressive chronic conditions, such as MS, Parkinson's, ALS and Arthritis fluctuate from day to day. Yet, even when they have supportive AT, such as grab bars, to compensate for functional limitations, those features are fixed, only able to support some abilities, some of the time. The purpose of this project is to develop a SmartBathroom environment capable of assessing an individual's abilities at any point in time and spontaneously adjusting supportive environmental features to accommodate those abilities.
