AIR - Advanced Interface Research
The goal of AIR is to investigate new ways of interaction with technological systems in their respective context of use. Three main contexts in which end-users interact with technology are investigated in detail, namely:
- “Home and extended home”
- “Mobility”
- “Advanced service interactions”
Automatic recognition of user behavior and emotion
Within the AIR project, Noldus Information Technology will contribute to the development and validation of novel methods and tools for the evaluation of human-system interaction and user experience. Noldus’ research tools such as The Observer XT, FaceReader, uLog, and uASQ will be used in user studies, which will provide valuable feedback about the functionality, usability, and robustness of these tools. The results of AIR will help Noldus to improve the design and quality of its research tools. Furthermore, new measurement concepts and prototypes of novel research tools for automatic recognition of user behavior and emotion will be field-tested in the AIR project.
