*** Update ***
Thanks to all those who have participated thus far! Both Fraser and I have recruited all the participants for our studies. We will be running another set of studies in two-three months, so please check back a little bit later for the more information!
*************

Fraser Anderson, and I are looking for participants for our (2) research studies. Each  experiment is designed to evaluate how people learn pen-based gestures and apply touchscreen gestures in different contexts. The results of the experiments will help us understand how generalizable gestures are, how people perform gestures in different contexts, and will help guide the design of gesture-based interfaces in the future. You can volunteer for one or both of our studies.

We are currently seeking right handed University of Alberta students who are 18+ to participate. Both studies will take place in the Advanced Man-Machine Interface Lab in the Computing Science Center on the University of Alberta Campus. Your participation will be split over two days. On day 1, you spend 1 hour learning a number of gestures. On day 2 (approximately 24 hours later), you will return for some follow-up tasks. Participation on day 2 takes less than 15 minutes. At the completion of the experiment, you will receive $15 cash.

To be eligible to participate, you must be available for 1 full hour on day one and 15 minutes on day two.

If you are interested in participating, please email hci@ualberta.ca to set up an appointment. Thanks!

** These studies are being conducted by Michelle Annett and Fraser Anderson under the guidance of Dr. Walter Bischof and have been approved by the Research Ethics Board at the University of Alberta. **
