POPSVisual Clutter Detection Rosenholtz next plans to offer this visual clutter tool, as well as other tools developed in her lab, to designers as part of a user study. She hopes to learn what insights designers get from knowledge of how a user will likely perceive their designs, and how best to present this information to the designers. Rosenholtz provides free software written in MATLAB to anyone interested in generating color and contrast "clutter maps" to gauge the clutter level of a display. The tool is available at hdl.handle.net/1721.1/37593 . This work was supported by the Office of Naval Research and by the National Science Foundation.

POPSUEI and their PowerDNA Products -- Shouldn't be a secret This product has been regarded by industry analysts as "the best kept secret in data acquisition and control," The daq and control applications of which this series of products is capable are phenomenal, but the company is yet small, and their economic focus is on product development, and customer service rather than PR. I hope more Engineers, Lab-techs, Students and Inventors will catch wind of UEI and their Compact, rugged, powerful "Cubes."
