Introduction
Background
Project Group Introduction
Mission Control! Project group has three members: Doreen, Qiang and Jørn Emil. The team
members are from different cultural background, Philippine, China and Norway. We are
bachelor students from University of Oslo, studying Informatics: Design, Use and Interaction.
Since we all have the basic year here at UiO for interaction design, we have some knowledge
on human-computer interaction design. As the team members are from different background,
it will give us different insights into this project.
Project Assignment
“This project involves the analysis of Emotiv information as to improve human-computer
interaction in two areas: one on replacing or complementing mouse interaction (with
emphasis on its use on Petrel); and two, using Emotiv information to quantify user satisfaction.
The project will start with the analysis and implementation of basic 3D scene interaction and
later will evolve into more elaborate workflows and interactions.” (From the project
description)
Project walkthrough
In the beginning of this project we had brainstorming on how could we tackle this project and
we gather questions that will pave way for our progress. The following are the questions
regarding this project
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
What is Emotiv and how does it work?
Is it possible for this device to replace the mouse?
What is Petrel software?
What features of Emotiv can we use to integrate with Petrel
How can we integrate Emotiv with Petrel?
After we explore the first question more questions pop up that lead us to the progression of
this project.
