SPIRE-EIT (Summer Program for Interdisciplinary Research and Education - Emerging Interface Technologies) at Iowa State University is a 10-week summer program for undergraduates that integrates research and education about emerging interface technologies. Students gain hands-on research experience using cyberinfrastructure and take brief focused classes in computer programming, 3D graphics, and human computer interaction. For the remaining time, students conduct interdisciplinary research projects in groups. The research projects are presented at an end-of-the summer campus-wide research symposium in the form of posters, demos, and a five-page research paper. SPIRE-EIT recruits with an emphasis on underrepresented groups, preparing students for graduate education in the interdisciplinary area of human computer interaction, an area of importance to the U.S. economy. By including instruction on ethics and on research-based evaluation techniques, the SPIRE gives students skills that are useful lifelong, independent of discipline, and which students might not otherwise encounter in a traditional engineering or computer science curriculum. Two major trends are driving research in Emerging Interface Technologies: a dramatic increase in interface technologies themselves, and the ubiquitous permeation of technology into everyday lives. Correspondingly, research questions focus on four broad areas of emerging technologies: information visualization; mobile/ubiquitous interfaces; extended, virtual, and augmented reality; and intelligent software agents. These research questions will be explored through projects such as career pathways through immersive storytelling in XR, multiagent trajectory representation in XR, testbed for human-agent teaming behavior understanding, and adaptations to cybersickness. Research projects are designed so that undergraduates (in teams of three) can make a meaningful contribution. Faculty in Iowa State University's Human Computer Interaction graduate program compete to participate in the SPIRE and cite strong benefits from participation afterwards. Each year, the SPIRE projects typically result in one-two professional academic conference presentations with SPIRE students as co-authors, which distributes SPIRE research results to the public.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.

爱荷华州立大学的Spire-EIT（跨学科研究和教育夏季计划 - 新兴界面技术）是一项为期10周的夏季计划，针对本科生，该计划整合了有关新兴界面技术的研究和教育。学生使用网络基础设施获得动手研究经验，并在计算机编程，3D图形和人类计算机互动中进行简短的专注课程。在剩余的时间里，学生会分组进行跨学科研究项目。研究项目以海报，演示和一份五页的研究论文的形式在夏季校园范围内的研究结束介绍。 Spire-Eit的新兵强调了代表性不足的群体，为学生在人类计算机互动的跨学科领域的研究生教育做准备，这对美国经济很重要。通过包括道德和基于研究的评估技术的指导，尖顶为学生提供了有用的终身，独立于纪律的技能，并且学生在传统的工程或计算机科学课程中可能不会遇到哪些。两个主要趋势是推动新兴界面技术的研究：界面技术本身的急剧增加，而无处不在的技术渗透到日常生活中。相应地，研究问题侧重于新兴技术的四个广泛领域：信息可视化；移动/无处不在的接口；扩展，虚拟和增强现实；和智能软件代理。这些研究问题将通过诸如XR的沉浸式讲故事，XR中的多种轨迹表示，对人类代理团队的行为理解的测试以及对Cyber​​sickness的适应性进行探索。研究项目的设计是为了使本科生（三个团队）可以做出有意义的贡献。爱荷华州立大学人类计算机互动研究生课程的教师竞争参加尖顶，并在随后从参与中引用了很大的好处。每年，Spire项目通常会与Spire学生作为合着者进行一次两次专业的学术会议演讲，该会议将尖峰研究结果分发给公众。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
