Smart Subtitles App: Opera.Guru - available |
|---|
Opera.Guru is an application suite to provide subtitles for live opera performances. (see www.opera.guru for details) The existing application contains a web-based frontend and smartphone app (Android/iOS) and a web-based CMS. The task of this thesis is to add new funcionality and improve existing ones. The goal of this extension is to use the Opera.Guru application suite for events other than opera and to access new user groups as well as new application scenarios. Basic programming skills and knowledge with mobile, web and server applications are recommended. The work for this thesis will include a user study to evaluate the web app. See the project's website for further information and finished theses about opera.guru. |

EDDIE - European Distributed Data Infrastructure for Energy - https://www.eddie.energy - available |
|---|
| There is an increasing need for energy-related technological innovation. Concerning computer science, more and more energy data-based services emerge within and beyond the energy sector, enabled by technological advance as well as the continuous revision of European legislation. COSY will be . As part of the Horizon Europe project EDDIE (https://www.eddie.energy), COSY is involved in the design, development and evaluation of new energy-related software services, which are data-driven and human-centred to target and support customers in the best possible way. Possible research activities for the resulting prototypes (e.g., smartphone apps, smart IoT devices) range from soft- and hardware development to user research to support the social acceptance of new energy technologies and increase participation of consumers in energy-related services. The concrete topic depends on the current progress of this research at COSY as well as the abilities and interests of the candidate. |

Designing Tangible Interfaces and Interactive Systems with Lego bricks - available |
|---|
| Bricks, in particular Lego, are - apart from being a toy - diversly and beneficially used because of their tangible and modular nature that offers a haptic experience and wideranging applicability, e.g., for design, creative thinking or idea finding. However, there is also rich potential to develop interactive brick-built models or turn pure tangible models into interactive systems. One particular useful example is The Playel (Scientific article, Performance video), which is a Lego Grand Piano turned into a fully MIDI-compliant keyboard. Working on this topic does not require any musical background or special electronic skills, but certainly interest in (re-)building Lego brick models, tinkering and embedded systems (e.g., Arduino, RaspberryPi). The concrete topic depends on the current progress of this research at COSY as well as the abilities and interests of the candidate. |

STEAM Learning - Using music instruments for new learning concepts in STEM education - available |
|---|
| STEAM is an acronym that combines STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) with arts and humanities (the "A" in STEAM). The topics around STEAM learning can be hardware-focused such as in the research project Sparkling Instruments (http://www.piglab.org/sparkling-instruments) or software-based such as in the research project muco (https://cts.wien/projects/muco/). In any way you are working on the development and evaluation of novel concepts for STEAM learning in the context of our research project in this area. The concrete topic depends on the current progress of this research at COSY as well as the abilities and interests of the candidate. |
