People and Technologies that Change
People's Lives Conference - Design Competition 2011
|
|
On October 23rd 2011, the Hynes Convention Center in Boston hosted
the Conference and Expo on Assistive Technologies (www.changepeopleslives.org). One of
our lab members entered the Design Competition with his Ph.D. Thesis
Project. This project is focused on helping users with various physical
disabilities to overcome the accessibility issues they encounter when
trying to use the conventional computer interface. As a result, Jeffrey
Breugelmans has been developing a novel interface system that can overcome
such issues, and enable these user in interacting with a Virtual
Environment. Out of sixteen contestants, Jeffrey received an Honorable
Mention (4th place).

Two of our lab member attended the 2011 Summer Program at Wuhan University of Technology,
in Wuhan, Hubei, P.R. China. During this program, David Schmidt and Jeffrey
Breugelmans cooperated with local students in a study on Driving Safety,
using the Advanced Driving Simulator at their Intelligent Transportation
Systems Research Center. It was a great opportunity to collaborate with
students from across the globe, and to learn from their rich knowledge and
culture.
