Introducing MOTIONS

MOTIONS is a researcher-oriented platform that allows the user to perform different kinds of evaluations on human-information interaction using a wide variety of interfaces.

  • Multiple Interfaces

    Currently the system supports Occulus Rift, Leap Motion, Kinect One, Open Glove, EMOTIV: Insight, The EyeTribe, NeuroSky: MindWave, Mouse and Keyboard. But the system was deigned to support new and different interfaces for integration.

  • Customize your evaluation

    Each user can create and store multiple evaluations, each made by choosing from different information objects, visualizations, interactions and interfaces, combining them as you wish!

  • Build the experience

    All actions in the system that can be done with the information objects, visualization or interaction can be tied to any input from the interfaces, allowing for a complete customization of the user experience.

  • Store the data

    Every action made by the user and all the data captured by the active interfaces are stored in a .csv file during each and every evaluation

MOTIONS purpose

The system was made with the goal of puting a powerful tool in the hands of researchers looking to investigate the human-information interaction with the ever growing list of new and innovative interfaces.

MOTIONS was built using Unity 3D graphic engine 5.5.2 and C# language due to its interoperability.
