PhD Seminar • Human-Computer Interaction • More Than Just Software Surprises: Purposes, Processes, and Directions for Software Application Easter Eggs

Please note: This PhD seminar will be given online.

Matthew Lakier, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Daniel Vogel

“Easter eggs” are features hidden inside software, and the practice of developers including them is a long-standing global phenomenon. They have seen some investigation in the context of games, but despite their prevalence in non-game software applications, their nature within this context is less clear.

Master’s Thesis Presentation • Algorithms and Complexity • Connectivity Properties of the Flip Graph After Forbidding Triangulation Edges

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will take place online.

Reza Bigdeli, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Anna Lubiw

The flip graph for a set $P$ of points in the plane has a vertex for every triangulation of $P$, and an edge when two triangulations differ by one flip that replaces one triangulation edge by another.

The flip graph is known to have some connectivity properties:

Master’s Thesis Presentation • Human-Computer Interaction • Designing a Unity Plugin to Predict Expected Affect in Games Using Biophilia

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will be given online.

Licheng Zhang, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Mark Hancock

Video games can generate different emotional states and affective reactions, but it can sometimes be difficult for a game’s visual designer to predict the emotional response a player might experience when designing a game or game scene.
