| | Well, it's taken a long time, but I finally finished my Master's Project at BU. I've only got the first draft done, but it shouldn't be too much more work to finish it off, and I'll post the link to the final version once it's completed.
My project deals with creating web mediators, applications that sit on top of the web browser and HCI system to allow users, particularly those with disabilities, to have a more seemless interaction with the web. I discuss an original method for grouping links logically based on location and web page structure to allow users to select groups of links rather than a single one, as well as discuss some of the fundamental characteristics of pages on the web.
This project might be my final foray into problems of this nature, since at the Media Lab I'll start looking at how to make people's voices sound intersted/uninterested and persuasive/unpersuasive as well as tools for cross-cultural communication and education. I've actually been inspired by the work of Jeremy Bailenson and his fascinating work on virtual interactive environments. I've come to realize that the techinques he describes (some of which are available in this paper) can actually be applied in the real world, not just in virtual environments, with technology that is already available. When I start to get this research off the ground I'll post more...
