Western University CubeSat Project$319Kvalue2018start2024end

Western University in partnership with Nunavut Arctic College's CubeSat will conduct a flight-test with a novel imaging system for engineering technology demonstration with the potential to provide virtual reality-ready images. This imaging system has future applications in Earth observation and space exploration. Testing will demonstrate imaging modes for different in-orbit functions. By taking CubeSat operations into the classroom, it will help enhance the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) outreach program of the Western University's Centre for Planetary Science and Ex

That AI-Generated Character? Maybe NOT Your Best Friend!$59.8Kvalue2026start2027end

The goal of this project is to support players, educators, and policymakers to respond effectively to the privacy challenges posed by AI-generated NPCs. Researchers will: (1) review the ‘state of play’ with respect to AI-generated NPCs, focusing on gaming industry and player perspectives on the associated applications, goals, risks, and benefits; (2) summarize the academic literature that examines how NPCs might be designed or might behave in order to influence player behaviour, and the corresponding privacy implications; and, (3) critically assess the efficacy of educational and regulatory re
