The challenge of feature engineering in programming for moving bodies
Louis McCallum, Rebecca Fiebrink · University of the Arts London Research Online (University of the Arts London) · 2020
The design of bespoke human movement analysis and control systems by end users and other people without programming or signal processing expertise presents great opportunities for the arts, accessible interface design, games, and other domains. In this paper, we describe the challenge of feature engineering that confronts many people wishing to build such systems. We have conducted three studies exploring approaches to supporting feature engineering and investigated how such approaches may impact on system accuracy, user experience, and design outcomes. We briefly outline study outcomes that are most relevant to the workshop themes.
