  • Minimal Criteria: Minimizing User Input and User Interface for Faster Output in Minimalistic Mobile Applications

    Article thumbnail: Minimal Criteria: Minimizing User Input and User Interface for Faster Output in Minimalistic Mobile Applications
    Type:
    Article
    Description/Abstract:
    The principles of minimalist design are evident in much of the technology we use today. This is especially the case with mobile applications. The most successful of which attempt to minimize the amount of user input needed to provide users with the information they are seeking. Although many mobile applications use data gathered by in-system activity such as a GPS to minimize input from users—some systems require user input, such is the case with roommate matching. This study utilizes the RoomUP mobile application as a testbed to define minimal criteria that can be used to gather user input and produce a compatible roommate match. Participatory design with prospective student users is used to reduce the number of variables and provide recommendations for a minimalistic user interface. The resulting prototype is then used to verify that it meets design goals and supports a satisfactory user experience.

  • Kinesthetic Learning Potential in Mixed Reality

    Article thumbnail: Kinesthetic Learning Potential in Mixed Reality
    Type:
    Article
    Description/Abstract:
    Virtual Reality’s recent commercialization has created a potential for its implementation into classroom and training environments. Past adoptions of this technology and their efficacy are explored in the literature review. This paper outlines the possibility of combining current VR technology with custom hardware allowing the user to interact with physical and mechanical object within virtual worlds and its implication on the future of kinesthetic learning and training in hazardous or expensive scenarios.

    Type:
    Article
    Description/Abstract:
    The healthcare industry is thriving and the abundant amount of data involved raises call for help relating to managing and maintaining them. It becomes a hassle to keep the data in it’s required place and to pull and retrieve whenever necessary. The search for a proper data mining technique to enhance the process is always appreciated and encouraged. Our era is controlled by the upcoming technologies that are fast paced and yield great results. There is always a scope for improvement and optimization. Every individual from every generation has been an avid user of mobile phone and its applications. Healthcare facilities have slowly begun to depend on applications and technologies associated and supported by mobile phones and other networking platforms in order to have everyone within the facility and also the patients who have ties to the facility have access to the information that they are entitled to have.

  • An Overview of the next phase of Virtualization

    Article thumbnail: An Overview of the next phase of Virtualization
    Type:
    Article
    Description/Abstract:
    Hypervisor-based hardware virtualization- also known as the first phase of virtualization uses Virtual Machines (VM) to provide better hardware resource utilization and application isolation. A VM provides some level of portability, but still requires a full operating system (OS) with all the binaries and libraries required to run the service it hosts. Therefore, moving an application from a development to a production environment for instance is no different than moving them between two Physical Machines (PM). Container-based virtualization-sometimes known as the next phase of virtualization addresses some of these limitations by providing virtualization at the OS level. Docker is an open source engine launched in 2013 by a company called Docker, Inc. Docker is used to manage the lifecycle of containers. Using containers, it is no longer necessary to dedicate an entire VM to an application in order to provide isolation, thus saving OS license costs. In this project we plan to formulate a generic model that can be used to fine tune a container-based setup for maximum performance benefit.
