Clemson Computing and Communication researchers aim to Reduce race and gender bias through diverse representation in videogames Clemson researchers have developed a short 2D videogame with an important societal purpose. The research by recent Human-Centered Computing Ph.D. graduate Marie Jarrell and co-authors Reza Ghaiumy Anaraky, Dr. Bart Knijnenburg, and Dr. Erin Ash demonstrates how changing […]
Clemson researchers demonstrate important differences in online privacy decision-making between older and younger adults Despite the vast benefits technology can provide to older adults, older adults’ tech usage is–by far–below other populations. The popular opinion is that they are not tech-savvy and cannot keep up with the fast-paced of technology. Researchers at the School of […]
Smart Home devices like smart lights, thermostats, and doorbells are gaining popularity because of the connected and automated experience they render to their users. This user experience is made possible by collecting and processing data about end-user behaviors. As this data is deemed sensitive and intimate, users tend to demand fine-grained control over their privacy preferences. But are users equipped to exert such a detailed level of control over their Smart Home devices?
HATLab researchers Dr. Bart P. Knijnenburg, Ph.D. student Paritosh Bahirat and Dr. Yangyang He (Alumnus) joined hands with Dr. Martijn Willemsen and Dr. Qizhang (Kevin) Sun from TU Eindhoven’s (Netherlands) Process Tracing Lab to answer this very question.
