Research recruitment notice

Posted by Faculty of Computer Science on August 3, 2016 in General Announcements

We are recruiting participants to take part in a research study examining what would be helpful in task resumption with 3D interface, so we want to test different types of strategies for aiding task resumption based on 3D models. We are looking for users who are pilipiliÂþ»­ students, currently, own and use any touch screen device. The study will be conducted in the Mona Campbell building and it will be over two sessions (about a day apart) and that each session will take about an hour.

In the first session, you will first meet with a researcher to go over the study details, give consent to do the study, fill in a background questionnaire and a questionnaire to score your spatial ability. You will then be video recorded while you perform set of tasks with 3D models using an iPad tablet that will beÌýprovided. In the middle of each task, you will be interrupted by being asked to stop the current task and to start the next task. Then in the second session, you will be required to resume these tasks where you left off in the first session using one of the four resumption aids. You will fill in questionnaires after resuming each task and at the end of the study that will ask about your experience with performing and resuming the tasks in a questionnaire and short interview.

Compensation is $20 for completion of the study. If you are interested in participating, please contact Rugaia Almangush (rg734888 @dal.ca).
