Implementation Projects
The following projects are linked to my CHI+MED research programme on safer
medical devices, developing simulators and tools we need to help understand and so better
design the interactive systems used in,
teamworking situations such as nurses in a busy hospital ward.
Project 1: Teamwork Simulator
The project aims at developing a visualisation engine for rendering
the daily activities carried out in the workplace by virtual persons.
The simulator is essentially a simplified variant of classical social
life simulator games, such as the Sims. The basic version of the
engine should enable moving actors in a 2D world according to input
data read from text files.
Project 2: Task Flow GUI
The project aims at developing a GUI for specifying task flow models,
which describe how tasks are carried out in workplaces. Task flow
models are graphically represented with graphs. Nodes in the graphs
are activities, and edges between nodes are dependency relations
between activities. The basic version of the GUI should enable
create/modify/load/save operations on task flows, and visualisation of
task execution traces on the task flow according to input data read
from text files.
