Explore UNCC is a public gesture-based interactive information system that provides the 2015 spring semester course information within the Software and Information Systems (SIS) department at the University of North Carolina Charlotte (UNCC). This information is presented to the user in the form of course number, name, and instructor. Once the system is activated by the user, the user can use their hand to interact with the system. Hand movement plays a role as a cursor; the user can delve into the five clusters (HCI, Health Informatics, Intelligent Systems, Security, and Software Systems) and explore the information in more detail.

My role on the project was the UI/UX design, and conducting a usability study.

This interactive information system is a "Walk-Up-And Use" interface that utilizes gesture recognition via Microsoft Kinect, and was designed so that multiple users may interact with the system. We designed the systems prototype, focusing on the Software and Information Systems (SIS) department in the College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) at University of North Carolina Charlotte (UNCC), to display information about five different disciplines within the SIS department. This system served as the framework to provide an interactive display for students, faculty, and visitors to easily explore these types of relationships. These relationships include, but are not limited to, classes, professors, research topics, organizations, and events both within and across departments at the university. Information was presented to the user in the form of 15-second video clips, images, and text descriptions.
