I’m currently participating in the International Cyberspace Conference on Ergonomics (CybErg’08) which runs from 15 Sept to 15 Oct 2008. It is carried out virtually and discussion is done through forum.  I have two conference papers accepted for this conference and hoping to get further feedback and comments on my research work. The two papers are mainly on Kansei Engineering. The first is on a prototype system developed using Visual Basic and VRML, which aims at enhancing customer’s decision-making in selecting spectacle designs. The second, which is part of my on-going Master’s project is on the application of Kansei Engineering methods in instructional design. It is a novel concept which has received positive feedback from experts in the field of educational virtual environments and has been published in the journal of Themes in Science and Technology Education. Of course, i’m still working on the proposed method as to further justify it with empirical data.

Anyway, for those of you who are interested in joining the virtual conference, do go to www.cyberg2008.org for further info. Registration is completely free!
