eParticipation

Im Rahmen der Entwicklung hin zu einer "Hochgeschwindigkeitsdemokratie" arbeiten wir an einer eParticipation-Plattform mit, die zur vermehrten Einbindung interessierter BürgerInnen in politische, insbesondere parlamentarische Prozesse führen soll. Das Spektrum reicht dabei von Ideenfindungsprozessen bis hin zur Kommentierung von Gesetzesvorlagen. Besonders interessant sind dabei Konzepte zur nachhaltigen Beteiligung und zur Überwindung der Schwelle zwischen physischer und Online-Diskussion.

CoCoVis: Visualizing Multi-Sensorial Time Series Data - vergeben

The CoConUT project (http://coconut.cosy.wien) features smartphone apps which collect sensor data (location, speed, noise, nearby Bluetooth devices, heart rate, etc.) for each participant during mobile field studies. Result is a time series which shows information about the context and possibly interesting events the field study participants encountered („Why did the participant slow down on the corner?“, „Why were so many people present nearby during this time period?“, etc.). The data sets hereby consist of sensor data collected during a field study on the participants' smartphones. These time series data should be visualized in a web app and enriched by meaningful analyses to enable exploration and potentially reasoning.

Requirements: You have already attended either the Vis and/or the HCI lecture and had good grades. You are fit in Android programming. You don't shy away from statistics.

If you're interested, please contact Svenja Schröder (Svenja.schroeder@univie.ac.at).


Mobile CoCoVis: Visualizing Multi-Sensorial Time Series Data on a Smartphone Screen - open

The CoConUT project (http://coconut.cosy.wien) features smartphone apps which collect sensor data (location, speed, noise, nearby Bluetooth devices, heart rate, etc.) for each participant during mobile field studies. Result is a time series which shows information about the context and possibly interesting events the field study participants encountered („Why did the participant slow down on the corner?“, „Why were so many people present nearby during this time period?“, etc.). The data sets hereby consist of sensor data collected during a field study on the participants' smartphones. These time series data should be visualized in the smartphone app itself and enriched by meaningful analyses to enable exploration and potentially reasoning. Focus hereby lies on the visualization for small device screens (smartphone / tablet).

Requirements: You have already attended either the Vis and/or the HCI lecture and had good grades. You are fit in Android programming. You don't shy away from statistics.

Social Computing meets the Smart Environment: COSY Healthy-Living Bot: Supporting users with pursuing meaningful fitness goals - open

This thesis is about interaction design and prototypical implementation of a chat-bot which supports a healthy lifestyle. A prototype exists already, and your core job is to incorporate motivational design, e.g. by means of gamification, in order to support the user with finding meaningful fitness goals. To achieve this, you can make full use of the existing prototype feature-set (already integrated APIs: Google Calendar, Fitbit, Recipe API, Work-Out API) and extend it if necessary.

Social Computing meets the Smart Environment: COSY Healthy-Living Bot: Usability Evaluation - open

This thesis is about usability evaluation of a chat-bot which supports a healthy lifestyle. Your core job is to conduct a usability study on an existing prototype. This will include group discussions with users and a questinaire-based evaluation of usage practice.

Note: This topic is only available as P1/P2.

Social Software meets the Internet of Things (IoT): Sensors and/or displays for a Smart Grätzel community platform - open

This thesis is about interaction design and prototyping of a community platform ("Smart Grätzel") that incorporates IoT devices. This thesis comprises (1) defining a social software concept that supports a given community by incorporating software (e.g. a web-platform, a chat-bot) and IoT devices (e.g sensors or displays), (2) creating a prototype, (3) conducting a small user trial to explore/validate meaning from a user perspective.
