The HUMANS MOVE project at the University of Wyoming is a 10-week interdisciplinary summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program to design, create, and innovate 3-Dimensional User Interfaces (3D UIs) to improve human sensory and motor performances in Virtual Environments. Students will be recruited from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and underrepresented populations, especially in rural areas or where opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are limited. The HUMANS MOVE REU Site will host ten students and provide positive research experiences, training, mentorship, state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, experiential learning activities, tailored resources, and networking connections that will continue to foster students' growth and success in research, graduate studies, and career development. The broader impact of this REU Site is to broaden the participation of underrepresented populations in computing, increase enrollment and retention of those students in graduate studies, and further enhance innovation through increased diverse thinking and creativity.The selected projects for the HUMANS MOVE REU Site focus on conducting state-of-the-art computing research in 3-Dimensional User Interfaces for Immersive Environments, such as Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality or Immersive Visualizations. The application areas focus on improving human sensory and motor performance in spatial environments, motor rehabilitation, collaboration and cooperation, and other 3D spatial tasks. The REU site students will collaborate with talented multidisciplinary teams of faculty, students, and staff in areas of computer science, electrical and computer engineering, kinesiology, visualization, art, and design to foster creativity and innovation. Student researchers will evaluate human physical, cognitive, or sensory challenges to inform the design and development of new interaction techniques, input devices, or methods of training, rehabilitation, or augmentation. In addition to collaborating with the research team, students will work together with users or patients to evaluate their proposed solutions. The HUMANS MOVE REU Site will engage students in impactful research projects that will advance technical achievements in 3D User Interfaces, Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality applications, training, or rehabilitation as well as broader outcomes to improve 3D tasks, scientific workflow, human health, or the community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

怀俄明大学的 HUMANS MOVE 项目是一个为期 10 周的跨学科夏季本科生研究体验 (REU) 项目，旨在设计、创建和创新 3 维用户界面 (3D UI)，以改善虚拟环境中的人类感官和运动表现环境。学生将来自不同背景、学科和代表性不足的人群，特别是在农村地区或科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 机会有限的地区。 HUMANS MOVE REU 站点将容纳 10 名学生，并提供积极的研究经验、培训、指导、最先进的设施和设备、体验式学习活动、量身定制的资源和网络连接，这些将继续促进学生的成长和成功在研究、研究生学习和职业发展方面。该 REU 站点的更广泛影响是扩大代表性不足的人群对计算的参与，增加这些学生研究生学习的入学率和保留率，并通过增加多元化思维和创造力进一步增强创新。HUMANS MOVE REU 站点重点选定的项目在沉浸式环境的 3 维用户界面（例如虚拟/增强/混合现实或沉浸式可视化）中进行最先进的计算研究。应用领域侧重于提高空间环境中的人类感觉和运动表现、运动康复、协作和合作以及其他 3D 空间任务。 REU 校区的学生将与计算机科学、电气和计算机工程、运动机能学、可视化、艺术和设计领域的教师、学生和工作人员组成的才华横溢的多学科团队合作，以培养创造力和创新能力。学生研究人员将评估人类的身体、认知或感官挑战，为新的交互技术、输入设备或训练、康复或增强方法的设计和开发提供信息。除了与研究团队合作外，学生还将与用户或患者一起评估他们提出的解决方案。 HUMANS MOVE REU 站点将吸引学生参与有影响力的研究项目，这些项目将推进 3D 用户界面、虚拟/增强/混合现实应用、培训或康复方面的技术成果，以及改善 3D 任务、科学工作流程、人类健康、该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
