Elevator Pitch:
Integrating eye-tracking gadget in the interior design studio will give the opportunity to students to learn about the impact of their own design on users. Does their proposed interior promote well-being? Does it follow interior design principles and standards? Does it trigger positive emotions, if yes, what are they? Does it trigger negative emotions, if yes, what are they? Students traditionally received feedback from their own instructors. Sometimes they perceive such feedback as being subjective, some might perceive it as harsh. This tool is objective and will give them the opportunity to learn and become better designers.
Team Bios: Dr. Linda Nubani and Dr. Eunsil Lee are members of the Interior Design program and specialize in Environment-Behavior Research.

I received the tools in late May after the semester ended. We are taking the summer to design the research and to apply for IRB approvals.
