<div> <div> <div> <p>This thesis aims to introduce a system design that supports the user experience of outfit selection, storage, and matching. Clothes are indispensable items in daily human life. Purchasing one's wardrobe has become more affordable. This has allowed people to focus on purchasing more fashionable clothes. Garment shopping has even become a type of social and leisure activity. With the development of internet technology, shopping methods have changed dramatically. However, these seemingly convenient shopping methods also bring unavoidable problems, such as an inability to understand apparel companies' different size standards and the challenge of seeing the details of materials. On the other side, while overemphasizing the convenience of the shopping process, online companies have ignored people's clothes-wearing experience that is the most enjoyable and valuable for customers. This paper introduces an IoT (Internet of Things) design: "Closet Go" including a mobile application and a clip-able camera. "Closet Go" aims to improve customers' daily outfit selection experience by digitalizing their closets and conducting data analysis of customized dressing habits. In this thesis, I present the entire design process: user research, Ideation, UI/UX design, product development, and evaluation. In the research section, potential users were recruited for interviews to discover the current problems in acquiring, selecting, and matching outfits in daily life. The design process section introduces the design development progress and results via user flow, experience map, prototype, and user interface. Finally, the thesis concludes with a heuristics evaluation section that tests the design's usability and experience to refine the project. </p> </div> </div> </div>

No / As the Internet and World Wide Web continue to influence corporate and private activities, systems are needed that mimic human-to-human interface, to simplify the human-to-computer interface. Intelligent Agents are likely to play a significant role in the design of such interfaces, and this book explores how they could influence media-based systems. Throughout, the text maps out the considerable advances that have already been made, paving the way toward a future where computers will be truly described as an intelligent aid to our personal and business lives.

No / The very word "digital" has acquired a status that far exceeds its humble dictionary definition. Even the prefix digital, when associ­ ated with familiar sectors such as radio, television, photography and telecommunications, has reinvented these industries, and provided a unique opportunity to refresh them with new start-up companies, equipment, personnel, training and working practices - all of which are vital to modern national and international economies. The last century was a period in which new media stimulated new job opportunities, and in many cases created totally new sectors: video competed with film, CDs transformed LPs, and computer graphics threatened traditional graphic design sectors. Today, even the need for a physical medium is in question. The virtual digital domain allows the capture, processing, transmission, storage, retrieval and display of text, images, audio and animation without familiar materials such as paper, celluloid, magnetic tape and plastic. But moving from these media to the digital domain intro­ duces all sorts of problems, such as the conversion of analog archives, multimedia databases, content-based retrieval and the design of new content that exploits the benefits offered by digital systems. It is this issue of digital content creation that we address in this book. Authors from around the world were invited to comment on different aspects of digital content creation, and their contributions form the 23 chapters of this volume.

<p dir="ltr">This dissertation investigates game design elements and their impact on player experience, intrinsic motivation, and learning outcomes. The research encompasses three projects, each delving into essential aspects of educational game design and their impact on student learning. The first project addresses a design gap by creating an educational game, exam- ining its effect on motivation and learning outcomes. The second project investigates player agency’s role in games and its influence on experience and outcomes. Two prototypes are designed that differ in the level of player agency afforded to the students. The study analyzes how this experimental manipulation affects player experience, intrinsic motivation, and learning outcomes. The third project analyzes the relationship between the learning inventory and the puzzle environment. More specifically, I will evaluate why students faced challenges when answering questions that focused on predicting the output and it’s connection with the learning environment. The overall focus of my dissertation is player experience, intrinsic motivation (to learn), and learning outcomes, which are examined through qualitative and quantitative research methods.</p>

<p dir="ltr">This dissertation explored the media features of interactivity (i.e., watching vs. playing) and audio to understand the role they play in shaping media experiences. The study provides additional insights into feelings of presence, levels of empathy, and intentions for continued engagement based on individual media experiences in response to media features. The video game <i>Florence</i> was used as the stimulus for an experimental design investigating media features at multiple levels to better understand how design of those features can potentially improve media experiences for individuals in different contexts, which might increase their desire to continue engaging with the same media or franchise in the future.</p>

<p> Although interest in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) from researchers and consumers continues to increase, many BCIs lack the complexity and imaginative properties thought to guide users towards successful brain activity modulation. In this research, an experimental story brain-computer interface (ES-BCI) was developed, with which users could interact using cognitive strategies; specifically, thinking about the story and engaging with the main character of the story through their thought processes. In this system, the user’s frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) measured with electroencephalography (EEG) was linearly mapped to the color saturation of the main character in the story. Therefore, the color saturation of the main character increased as FAA recorded from the participant’s brain activity increased above the FAA threshold required to receive visual feedback. A user-friendly experimental design was implemented using a comfortable EEG device and short neurofeedback (NF) training protocol. Eight distinct story scenes, each with a View and Engage NF component were created, and are referred to as blocks. In this system, seven out of 19 participants successfully increased FAA during the course of the study, for a total of ten successful blocks out of 152. Results concerning left (Lact) and right (Ract) prefrontal cortical activity contributions to FAA in both successful and unsuccessful blocks were examined to understand FAA measurements in greater detail. Additionally, electrodermal activity data (EDA) and self-reported questionnaire data were investigated to understand the user experience with this ES-BCI. Results suggest the potential of ES-BCI environments for engaging users and allowing for FAA modulation. New research directions for artistic BCIs investigating affect are discussed. </p>
