Geeking Out on Visual Clutter Tool
I need to post. It’s been a while since the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT has given me something that I can use/understand in layman’s terms.
In an effort to understand video clutter, the department has responded in the form of a clutter detector tool that can be used by anyone (yes, all five people) using MATLAB, and may be downloaded on the DSpace Web Site.
This early tool has the ability to stretch into other more simplified versions which can be built in mainstream application environments to help us run through pre-delivery and testing as we design and develop complicated user interfaces. Most notably, the theory is what makes the case, not the actual tool.
The challenge: develop a similar mainstream tool built in a ubiquitous player/reader that can become a standard testing software application for UX and Design consultancies.
