Generate Five Proposed Research Projects

Question: Choosing an ambitious and yet feasible project is the black art of research. There are two important keystones to making this work: 1) Read a lot of papers in an area of interest, and 2) Generate a lot of ideas. The purpose of this assignment is for you to generate five proposed research projects that would fit within the scope of this 14-week course. Your project ideas can span any area or areas of HCI research and can be conducted using any method to be covered (e.g., building systems, studying people or practices). Answer: Idea 1 - Spoon: Restaurant Searching Application Description: This application helps users to search nearby restaurants based on the current location. It also allows users to locate nearby restaurants on the basis of famous dish of the current location. Reference: Personalized and dynamic restaurant interfaces and systems This patent provides background on understanding of requirements of transactions, interface of interconnected subsystems (Williams Pollock, 2012). Idea 2 - Favfoods Description: This application would allow a person to note down the favorite dishes he or she would have in a restaurant. To do this, the person would simply have to note down the dish he had and give a rating accordingly depending upon how much he or she liked it and then save it in the database. Over a period of time, the app would produce a highly curated list of favorite foods the person enjoys for future reference and sharing. Reference: Service-oriented middleware for Smart Home applications This paper will provide a Service-oriented architecture which can be used in development at the background (Yan, Xu Zhu, 2014). Idea 3 - Travel Helper Description: This application would allow a traveler to view critical information needed for any particular place which or he she would be visiting. The idea is that, travelers traveling to any other country or any other city within that country might not be well versed with certain rules, policies, laws, practices or any other critical information such as police, ambulance numbers etc. So if anybody is traveling to any other location, they will have a single point reference for all the critical information they need. Reference: A Language Engineering System for GraphicalUserInterfaceDesign (LESGUID): A Rule based Approach This application will require good user interface for which detailed analysis of GUI is required to be understood. This article will provide principles of User interface design (., Brevern El-Tayeb, 2009). Idea 4 - Manager notes Description: This application will allow students to share their notes with their nearby friends/classmates. They can share the pictures, text files, pdfs by giving reference to their course names. Reference: A Language Engineering System for GraphicalUserInterfaceDesign (LESGUID): A Rule based Approach This application will also require good user interface for which detailed analysis of GUI is required to be understood. This article will provide principles of User interface design (., Brevern El-Tayeb, 2009). Idea 5 - Products and Service Network Description: This application would allow a person to list down all products and services he consumes in his personal space and share it with others. The idea here is to allow a product and service based social network where users can list down all the products and services they use and connect with others. It will allow people to discover new products and services, get help regarding the products and services they own or help others regarding the products they have in their inventory. Reference: Social Network Facebook as a vehicle for promoting libraries In order implement this application, existing social graphs are required to be studied for which this article will be used. It provides how the Facebook social graph can be used fro implementing libraries (Onak, 2014). References S., Brevern, P., El-Tayeb, N. (2009).
