Hello,
We have an opening for a PhD student on the topic of "Swimming Markup Language” here at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
Swimming is one of the healthiest workouts and tracking one’s progress is a great motivator. However, sharing swim workout sets and viewing these on today’s wide range of available displays remains difficult. There is currently no standard way of formally describing swim training sessions which computers can understand while also enabling humans to easily read. Challenges include each swim coach having his/her own taxonomy and nomenclatures for the various exercises. While at the same time new forms of displaying swimming data, such as Augmented Reality Googles and Smart Watches are becoming available.
This project aims to develop and test a Swimming Markup Language (SwimML) as an enabling technology to standardize swim training sets. Furthermore, the student will develop a Layout Engine that transforms SwimML code into beautiful user-friendly and easily readable swim set instructions that can be printed on paper and taken to the poolside or displayed on electronic devises. The success of this project will be measured by a series of user tests.

All the best,
Christoph Bartneck
