Hello! I’m Dr. James Sprinks, my current incarnation assuming the role of a Research Fellow at Nottingham Trent University as part of an Innovation for Invention project (II-LA-0716-20002). My main research considers the user interface design and development of HCI systems for both patients and medical practitioners, and their influence on improving the sedation process for in-theatre medical procedures. My PhD research considered the development of citizen science platforms that allow the online public to take part in and contribute towards scientific research across a range of different disciplines. The aim was to achieve a better understanding of how task design, interface design, data presentation techniques and communication tools can be utilised to ensure the best possible user experience whilst ensuring the data produced is still scientifically robust. Additionally, I am interest in scientific outreach and education and how novel display and interaction techniques can be used to facilitate the process. I am currently a researcher on 2 related projects: MarsCAPE: An engaging and informative display that communicates key aspects of the Martian landscape to the public, including the nature and scale of landscape forms, using a unique combination of physical landscape models and synchronised 3D perspective views. It combines the proven power of physical relief models for providing overviews of landscape and discerning subtler spatial forms and relationships, with first person game-like perspectives on the ground. Mars in Motion: A citizen science project allowing the online public to help detect geological changes on the surface of Mars. Previously I have worked on a number of European and nationally funded projects involving HCI, human factors, remote sensing, planetary science and WebGIS themes. Profile ©
