Description:
HCI research involving simulating (digital twinning) IoTenabled objects and how users may interact with them. In the context of field maintenance of complex IoT-enabled objects, the question arises of exactly how a technician would interact with the IoT-derived data and other maintenance information. The project will look at the data and information by having the technician interact with a digital twin of the object and related IoT data. To identify effective ways in which a technician would interact with this digital twin and its data, the project will implement 3D interaction and visualization techniques and conduct human experiments to assess the efficacy of those techniques. While the project will focus on aircraft engine maintenance use cases, the more general HCI research issue is how to best support technicians in their interaction with IoT-enabled devices. Consequently, the results of this project would apply to a variety of other domains as well.
