Visualising the soundfield and soundscape: extending Macaulay and Crerar’s 1998 method (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & LePlâtre, G. (2008, June). Visualising the soundfield and soundscape: extending Macaulay and Crerar’s 1998 method. Presented at ICAD 2008: The 14th annual International Conference on Auditory Display, Paris, France

The introduction of effective auditory warnings into a shared environment requires a prior understanding of the existing soundfield and soundscape. Reifying the physical and perceptual auditory environment enables a form of pre-auditioning, as well a...

Assessing the progress of implementing web accessibility - An Irish Case Study (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Trulock, V., & Hetherington, R. (2008, June). Assessing the progress of implementing web accessibility - An Irish Case Study. Presented at Tenth International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems

In this paper we attempt to gauge the implementation of web accessibility guidelines in a range of Irish websites by undertaking a follow-up study in 2005 to one conducted by McMullin three years earlier (McMullin, 2002). Automatic testing against ve... Read More about Assessing the progress of implementing web accessibility - An Irish Case Study.

Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children (2008)
Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Bruce, V., Chang, H. Y., Plenderleith, Y., McIntyre, A. H., & Hancock, P. J. (2008). Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children. Journal of multimedia, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.4304/jmm.3.1.28-35

We have developed a novel software program
called ‘Predict Your Child’ that, given photographs of
potential parent faces, generates plausible looking children.
The parent photographs are imported into a PCA-based
model of facial appearance to giv... Read More about Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children.

Engaging photorealistic VR: An aesthetic process of interaction. (2008)
Thesis
Carroll, F. Engaging photorealistic VR: An aesthetic process of interaction. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2393

This thesis investigates the potential of aesthetics in the design of Human-Computer Interactions (HCI).
