Volunteers Requested - Computer Graphics Study on the perception of geometric arrangements

Department of Computer Science, University of Waterloo

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR RESEARCH IN 2D Graphics

Hello,

My name is Zainab AlMeraj. I am a PhD student at Computer Graphics Lab in
the School of Computer Science. I am working under the supervision of
Professor Craig S. Kaplan.

We are seeking research participants for a study that involves one session
lasting between 45 and 60 minutes.

During the session you will be asked to complete two tasks. The first task
involves sorting a number of arrangements on small cards into a number of
piles. The arrangements are composed of four sets. For each set there is a
sample image and eleven larger samples. You will be asked to pile the
images according to your own criteria. The piles you make will be recorded
for reference and analysis.

The second task involves a comparison task in which you choose one of two
images of different sets of arrangements using a mouse and a computer
screen.

All your information and data will remain confidential.

In appreciation for your time you will receive a Tim Hortons gift
certificate worth $15.

Participants who have previously completed an earlier phase of this work
are requested not to contact or take part in this phase of the study. Your
understanding to this matter is much appreciated.

This study was reviewed and received ethics clearance through the Office
of Research Ethics.
For more information about this study, or to volunteer for this study
please contact:

GSA SPARK 2020

  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
