SPONSORS
Ian Spence and the Engineering Psychology Lab are supported by grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Bell University Laboratories (BUL), and the IBM Centers for Advanced Studies (CAS).
FACILITIES
The lab (Sidney Smith Hall, Room 630) has seven workstation and testing rooms and is well-equipped with computers, all of which are networked and connected to the campus backbone and hence to the wider Internet. Windows 2000 Workstation is the OS on seven of these machines but there is also a Windows 2000 Server running IIS, MS SQL Server, and ObjectPlanet Surveyor, as well as a Linux server in the lab. We have licences for most major software including MS Office, MS Visual Basic, SAS and SPSS. In 2004 we completed the installation of a well-equipped usability lab consisting of an experiment room and a control room. We can feed high quality video and audio to mixers, monitors, and recorders in the control room, allowing for comprehensive control and archiving of participant usability sessions. The eye-tracking facility in the lab includes an Eyelink Version II eye tracker and two computers. We share a Photo Research PR-650 spectroradiometer with two other labs in Psychology. We have a digital photo studio, scanners, and both inkjet and laser colour printers.
