 ===== Dr Benjamin Gorman =====
-Generally, any idea around an aspect of Human-Computer Interaction, or Accessibility is a project I would be interested in. I like to think of solution-based projects. Below you will find the Problem (what are you trying to solve with computing), Motivation (why is it an important problem to solve?), Solution (what is your computing-based solution?), and Evaluation (how will you check whether you solved the problem?) for each of these ideas.
+Generally, I'm interested in any idea around an aspect of Human-Computer Interaction, or Accessibility. I like to supervise solution-based projects. Below you will find the Problem (what are you trying to solve with computing), Motivation (why is it an important problem to solve?), Solution (what is your computing-based solution?), and Evaluation (how will you check whether you solved the problem?) for each of these ideas.
 **Make sure you have reviewed the handbook for the projects and you understand what the artefact requirements are for your degree title. You must also ensure the topic fits within your degree title as well.**

   * Evaluation: Comparative evaluation to see which of your new designs is best
-**1. IoT Connected Subtitles**
+**1. Object-Based Media Enhancements**
-  * Problem/Motivation: Subtitles could be more interactive and immersive.
+  * Problem/Motivation: Media needs to be more personalisible.
-  * Solution: Using subtitles could we trigger events within the user's viewing area (e.g., subtitles turn on toys, lights, effects etc).
+  * Solution: Modern broadcasting techniques are able to leverage Object-Based Media approaches (https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0026/223973/Object-based-media-report.pdf). Develop some solutions around this topic.
   * Evaluation: Qualitative evaluation to see what users think.

   * Solution: Develop different concepts to improve this situation. Current ideas might involve reducing the size of the participant's video screen for every second they are talking. Or enabling a "respawn" rate on unmuting or raising your hand.
   * Tracking this sort of thing post-meeting could show how people interacted.
-  * This project would involve building a web based video chat environment and then applying different modifiers such as described. You would likely need to use Javascript, Node.js, and WebRTC (Web Real Time Communication).

 **3. Speculative Crypto/NFT-based projects **
-Note: not a crypto specialist, nor a security expert.
   * NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) have been very popular so far in 2021 (e.g., https://www.nbatopshot.com/ or https://www.cryptokitties.co/). They have numerous advantages over common collecting, but how could we improve it or move it in new directions? This project could explore either new ideas for NFTs (I have some speculative ideas) or discover how to explain NFTs to users, other ideas could explore how to display, curate, and store NFTs.
@@ Line 126: / Line 125: @@
   * Cryptocurrency and NFTs are potentially contributing to the climate emergency, yet are likely not going away anytime soon. Could you develop a system where you export someone's crypto portfolio and demonstrate how much it has cost the climate? Similar to http://cryptoart.wtf/ but for full portfolios, could you then allow people to offset this?

-**4. TactColour / Colourfeel **
-  * Problem/Motivation: People with ICVD (impaired colour-vision deficiency) have trouble differentiating colours (e.g., pink versus grey), typical assistive tools do not leverage on their natural colour differentiating ability. For example some people with ICVD hold items closer to their eyes to help them with differentiating colour. See this paper for a similar idea: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3241015
-  * Solution: A finger mounted camera or colour sensor could provide small details (e.g., the redness/greenness of a colour) via tactile or audible information relayed to a unit on the users wrist.
-  * Quick Mock-up: Endoscopy Camera/Colour sensor + Arduino/Raspberry PI (may be needed for processing colour) or android phone via bluetooth
-  * Evaluation: Compare against state of the art, or no assistance
-**5. Speechreading Aids**
-  * Problem/Motivation: People with a hearing loss sometimes need to use speechreading (commonly called lipreading) to help understand a speaker. These projects aim to enhance people’s ability to speechread more effectively. See https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3025560
-  * Solution Ideas (would need some knowledge of machine learning/computer vision):
-  - ColourLips
-    * Extract lips from video feed
-    * Change colour based on frequency of sound information
-    * Change colour based on phoneme (sound) classification
-  - DistortLips
-    * Extract lips from video feed
-    * Alter or exaggerate lip shapes
-**6. 360 degree video speechreading learning system**
-  * Which may utilise VR devices (such as the Oculus Quest) to improve people’s ability to speechreading in specific situations.
-**7. How do they say it?: Foreign Language Learning Video App (MirrorMirror)**
-  * Develop a mobile application that helps people learn foreign languages - similar to my MirrorMirror application. https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3173600

+  * Enhancing existing Transaction Monitoring (TM) controls to better detect Anti-Money Loundering (AML) risks
+  * Developing interactive and cognitive tasks during the online gaming and gambling activities
+Project ideas in SPEED (Smart Ports Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development) project (https://www.interreg2seas.eu/nl/speed) which is about contributing to a smart ports innovation ecosystem that bridges the port logistics stakeholders and smart technology providers.
-Project ideas by SportBU:
+  * Developing a crowdsourcing platform
+  * Modelling and simulation of smart ports and port logistics systems
+  * Decision support systems using sensors and smart technologies to improve air quality
+  * Improving the usability and user experience of a web portal by implementing new features (this project requires understanding the existing code and working with it)
-  * **Premium Members App: ** Last year SportBU launched a virtual premium space that provided BU&AUB students, staff and local community to access additional content on top of their current membership package. This could include a variety of content from Training plans and to dietary advice, to competitions and specialist blogs from the AECC Chiropractic college and Total Therapy Physiotherapists. We are looking for one or more driven students to liaise with IT on behalf of SportBU to create a suitable alternative which we can offer to our premium members as a dedicated platform, with the sole purpose of enhancing the member experience. As this would be building a bespoke package, we'd be looking for you to perform some market research, report your findings and represent SportBU in a professional manner when liaising with the IT Development team.
-  * **Events Booking Platform: ** Looking ahead to 2021, SportBU is wanting to adapt to a more online, digital, solution to the way we manage bookings, ticket sales and payments. Having this remote platform wouldn't only create a better user experience, in line with the BU 2025 strategy, but would also provide a contingency to the current Virus related (paperless) situation we currently find ourselves in. We hope that, throughout your time working on this project, your efforts will be used for large end of year events such as 'Varsity 2021', 'Sports Ball 2021' and termly events such the 'Colour Run' which we'd happily invite you to attend as well.
+Project ideas in S4AllCities project (https://www.s4allcities.eu/) concerning AI for safer urban spaces. In it you may participate with us to investigate on:
+  * Cyber-traffic networks attacks detection using machine learning
+  * Heterogeneous data aggregation and fusion methods
+  * Using the de-facto Multi-Level JDL Data Fusion Framework (Joint Directors of Laboratories Framework) for advancing cyber situational awareness and beyond
+  * Decision support systems using advanced situation awareness in cyber-physical security
+Project ideas by SportBU:
-  * **Campus League Football Portal:** Any football Fans out there?! SportBU is looking for a solution to the way we manage our league signups, ticket sales and payments. Having this dedicated platform would massively enhance the average user experience, in line with the BU 2025 strategy. Certain expected features would be player profiles, fixtures details, points table, league chat rooms and would be monitored by users at SportBU. We hope that, throughout your time working on this project, your efforts will be used toward the management of all 4 league types that will run in 2021, and after review to be used for future seasons going forward.
