Microsoft Research funded ITP Design & Prototyping Groups in
\nHumanizing Networked Data<\/p>\n

(ITP Internship \u2013 2 credits & Microsoft Project Stipend)<\/p><\/div>\n

**** available to SECOND YEAR ITPERS ONLY *****<\/p>\n

\nLed by Kati London, MSR FUSE Labs<\/p>\n

Users relate to the objects in the world around them & to their devices as if they were people
\n\u2013 with personalities and social intelligence. This group is focused on designing & building
\napplications by humanizing data.<\/p>\n

Short readings and conversations will provide an initial context for this topic. Students will get
\ndesign, technical and privacy feedback on their designs & prototypes as well as raspberry pi
\nunits equipped with a server and API and cross platform UI framework.<\/p>\n

MSR seeks to fund a selection of ITP student experiments and prototypes that explore
\nhumanizing networked data. We are seeking project proposals for applications using this
\ntechnology in personal, civic, public, or semi-public spaces.<\/p>\n

Challenge<\/p>\n

\u2022 What new kinds of products and services can you imagine and build when data is
\nunderstood through dynamic emotion state.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Domains: personal, private, public, municipal, semi-public<\/p>\n

What Students Get<\/p>\n

\u2022 Access to server\/API that performs emotion state computation<\/p>\n

\u2022 Samples of individual and group data streams translated into personality & emotion states<\/p>\n

\u2022 Several raspberry pi units to get started (for v1) for local sensors\/inputs and as a local server<\/p>\n

\u2022 NYC Mayor\u2019s office is re-launching their open data initiative Sept 2013 with feeds and
\nAPIs; through partnerships there may be potential additional data sets available.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Demo of an app that demonstrates one use case<\/p>\n

\u2022 Critical and technical feedback on designs and prototypes<\/p>\n

\u2022 2 Credits at ITP and a project stipend<\/p>\n

Goals<\/p>\n

\u2022 Product design & applications developed using server\/API<\/p>\n

\u2022 Feedback & iteration on server\/API for MSR<\/p>\n

Details<\/p>\n

The research group will meet once a week during the Fall semester to brainstorm\/critique ideas,
\npresent design and prototype progress and discuss assigned readings and activities. Microsoft
\nResearch will provide a reading list based on-going research led by Kati London (FUSE Labs).
\nAll selected individuals are required to attend all meetings and actively participate throughout
\nthe project.<\/p>\n

Final Deliverables<\/p>\n

The final deliverables will be product designs & working prototypes that demonstrate new kinds
\nof interactive products and services when data is imbued with emotion state. Students will be
\nexpected to actively participate in project meetings and respond to assigned readings. Final
\nproducts must be fully functional and presented with learnings and outcomes.<\/p>\n

Timeframe<\/p>\n

Call for Proposals August 23, 2013
\nProposal deadline\u00a0September 16, 2013
\nProject duration 3 months
\nProject kickoff week of\u00a0\u00a0September 23, 2013
\nFinal presentations\u00a0 December 2013\/January 2014<\/p>\n

There will be weekly meetings<\/p>\n

Proposal requirements (1-2 pages)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Group and individual proposals are permitted. Project scope and output for group project
\nshould reflect contribution levels of multiple contributors.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Research proposal that outlines key questions and anchors exploration in a current
\ntechnology and\/or system.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Detailed description of the project being proposed and technologies being used.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Portfolio and resume<\/p>\n

\u2022 Recommendation from a current faculty member.<\/p>\n
