    <p><img src="http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/2013/04/thumbnail18.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" width="200" height="160" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">The introduction of the HTML5 spec introduced new tags for presenting media on a webpage; the &lt;audio&gt; and &lt;video&gt; tags, rendering the &lt;object&gt; tag no longer fit for video and audio streaming.</p> <p>These new tags have made it considerably easier to add rich media content to your design, and in today’s video tutorial, I’ll be talking through the following features which make HTML5′s media tags so flexible:</p> <p>Using HTML5 audio tags to play an audio track on load; wrangling HTML5′s more complex parameters, such as <em>controls</em> and <em>autoplay</em> to create a fully-featured media player in less time than an average song length; the first steps to creating your very own custom-built media player to fit in with your own web design projects.</p> <p>This is part one of a two part tutorial, and by the end of it, you’ll know how to use the power of jQuery and &lt;audio&gt; tags to create a basic music player. In the following video, we’ll be adding a whole bunch of new features; like album art and meta tags, too!</p> <p></p>

    </div>
    <div>UMBC Event &amp; Conferences Services is looking to hire 
    more Ticketing Staff Employees for the 2013-2014 academic year! 
    Ticketing Staff are responsible for selling tickets at the door for 
    student organization events that are planned through our office. </div>
    
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Responsibilities include welcoming all guests, performers, and organizers, selling and tracking ticket sales, wrist-banding attendees, reconciling all cash transactions at the conclusion of the sale period, and depositing funds into a designated safe.</div>
    
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Most events will occur Thursday, Friday, and 
    Saturday evenings, so weekend availability is required, however; 
    availability during the week is also preferable. This position will 
    offer 5-12 hours per week. Candidates must have and maintain a 2.5 GPA. </div>
    
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Preference will be given to students who email Jackie Aliotta (<a href="mailto:jaliotta@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">jaliotta@umbc.edu</a>), Events Coordinator, with their interest and resume by Friday, May 3rd 2013. Students will be interviewed on a rolling basis. </div>

    <div>3D Modeling for Older Adults</div>
    <div>Uvonne Andoh, Farnaz Feizian, Joshua Dutterer</div>
    <div>Amy Hurst, Assistant Professor, Department of Information Systems</div>
    <div>Vision impairment and cognitive disabilities (Such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia) are common <span>within the older population. These problems create higher risk of disability among older adults and limits </span><span>functional independence. We believe that providing older adults with the ability to design and build 3D </span><span>prototypes has the potential to assist and support their everyday tasks and help them regain independence. </span><span>Our team’s research goal is to examine how older adults use 3D printers and if they design and build their  </span><span>own objects right in their home without going out to buy them. The objective of my project is to design </span><span>3D models attached to a calendar that will assist older disabled adults with their daily schedule. By </span><span>building various 3D objects representing biological, societal, interpersonal, creative and symbolic needs, </span><span>we will enable older individuals to determine their day-to-day tasks. Some of the beneficial things older </span><span>adults can design and build on their own are an everyday custom pill bottle to keep track of their medicine </span><span>intake, as well as an assistive bag holder to help older adults with arthritis.</span>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    </div>
    <div><span><div>Dynamic Access to the Web Using Haptics</div>
    <div>Yevgeniy D. Arber, Kirk Norman</div>
    <div>Ravi Kuber, Assistant Professor, Department of Information Systems</div>
    <div>While assistive technologies are valuable to individuals with disabilities, research suggests that challenges <span>continue to be experienced when using these technologies to interact with graphical user interfaces. Haptic </span>
    </div>
    <div>(touch-based) technologies have been designed to improve non-visual access to graphical user interfaces, <span>by providing many of the structural cues which are inadequately presented by speech-based assistive </span><span>devices. This research focuses on improving web access for individuals who are blind. After undertaking a </span><span>guided literature review, interviews were conducted with six blind web developers to identify the </span><span>problems faced by visually impaired web users. A multimodal haptic web browsing tool designed to </span><span>support blind web users has been evaluated with six participants (5 blindfolded sighted, 1 blind). The </span><span>observational study has aimed to determine the efficacy of the browser, to convey the spatial layout of </span><span>objects on the screen, and to determine the subjective experience of using haptic and speech-based </span><span>technologies to browse the Web. Findings have revealed the promise offered by multimodal technologies </span><span>to support the non-visual browsing process.</span>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><div>Using Mobile Technologies to Support Procedural Memory for Individuals with Executive </div>
    <div>Functioning Deficits</div>
    <div>Caroline E. Brunschwyler</div>
    <div>Ravi Kuber, Assistant Professor, Department of Information Systems</div>
    <div>The ability to plan, organize and execute tasks is often taken for granted. However, for individuals with <span>executive functioning deficits (EFD), challenges with procedural memory, may directly impact the ability </span><span>to care for themselvers or to live independently. The aim of this research is to identify the difficulties </span><span>faced when performing daily tasks, with a view to designing a mobile application to rehearse the sequence </span><span>of steps within these tasks (e.g., making a bed). Findings from a set of interviews conducted with </span><span>participants with EFDs has revealed that such a solution offers promise for independent living, as the user </span><span>is able to first practice tasks within in a virtual environment (i.e., the mobile application), until levels of </span><span>confidence can be developed to perform the same tasks in a real-world environment.</span>

    <div>Marc Olano, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science; Carol Hess, Department Chair, <span>Department of Dance</span>
    </div>
    <div>In the last few years, Microsoft has allowed individuals to create open-source software for their Xbox <span>Kinect, to extend the development and creativity of the device’s infrared camera system. Our research </span><span>created software allowing a Kinect to talk to intelligent stage lighting, which could then be applied to a </span><span>live dance performance. Two major software components, including our own light controller and a library, 56</span><span>linked the devices with basic instructions to control all of a light's capabilities. Once a link was created </span><span>and basic gestures were recognized, we brought in dance students to practice and make adjustments as </span><span>well as choreograph a routine for a performance. We provided a basic system for Kinect recognition and </span><span>static lighting effects. Further implications could include programming dynamic lighting effects, or daisychaining multiple lighting fixtures. This project is important to the performing arts community because </span><span>dance performances will have another creative lighting tool, and to Computer Science because it creates </span><span>open-source software, allowing anyone to learn from, use, modify and expand upon our project.</span>
