New LBM publication!
{nomultithumb}We are proud to announce that following the recent ASIS&T conference, an article co-authored by prof. Anna Mierzecka has been published.
The publication is titled: “Who Are They? Redefining Demarcation of Research Participant Characteristics and Related Conceptualizations”.
Biometryczna analiza reakcji operatora drona FPV w środowisku VR (2)
We are launching the third edition of our collaboration between Saint-Cyr Military Academy and the University of Warsaw. Interns from Saint-Cyr, Alan Bodin and Arthur Sourintha, under the guidance of Aline Haufschmitt (Saint-Cyr), are working together with members of LBM UW: Prof. Tomasz Gackowski, Eng. Adam Balcerzak, and Marcin Łączyński.
The project "Biometric Analysis of FPV Drone Operator Responses in a VR Environment" focuses on studying the biometric responses of FPV drone operators, including stress levels (GSR) and eye-tracking. Additionally, in-game events are logged, and task/mission execution is monitored. All of these elements are carried out in a VR application developed in Unreal Engine 5, integrated with the iMotions biometric research platform. This analysis will help assess the impact of these factors on task performance efficiency and the cognitive processes of operators.
IDUB Project Focused on Promoting Scientific Research
{nomultithumb}We are pleased to announce that Adam Balcerzak, a member of the LBM UW team, has received funding for his project titled "Creation of promotional materials and development of a blog dedicated to presenting and promoting selected research projects carried out by the Media Research Laboratory team at the University of Warsaw." The project was selected under the III.3.2. Promotion of Scientific Research – 6th edition competition, financed by the IDUB (Excellence Initiative – Research University) program.
Follow our social media and website, where we will be sharing updates on the project's progress over the coming months.
The topic of artificial intelligence remains relevant!
According to the latest research report from CBOS – "Artificial Intelligence in the Opinions of Poles" – the majority of respondents (60%) claim that they do not use AI-based technologies in their daily lives. More than one-third of respondents (35%) consciously use AI solutions in everyday life, while only one in twenty (5%) openly admits to being unsure whether they are using artificial intelligence.
Respondents are divided in their opinions on the safety of using AI. The largest group (38%) sees more risks than benefits from the further development of AI, while a significant portion (29%) holds an ambivalent stance toward artificial intelligence.
In this context, it is worth recalling the study and report by the Laboratory of Media Studies at the University of Warsaw, "Poles on Artificial Intelligence." One of the survey questions addressed general ethical concerns raised by the development of AI and automation technologies. 30% of respondents strongly agreed with the statement regarding ethical concerns, while 17% expressed the opposite opinion. Nearly one in four respondents did not have a clear stance on the issue. The report is available as an attachment.
