The project will involve further improving an application that AT&T has developed for subjective testing of video quality. The application gathers subjective test data from collections of video clips. The core components of the current application include a database to store the video clip information, an interactive user interface (currently iOS app) that plays back the video sequences and collects subjective test scores, and an admin app that facilitates interaction with the database. As one aspect of the project, the students will focus on “gamifying” the current user interface by making it more interactive and fun to use for the subjective test participants. This will ensure that the test participants will stay engaged with the application and more test data can be obtained per participant. As a second aspect of the project, the students will add a second rating method to the existing tool that is based on the absolute category rating scale. As a third aspect of the project, the students will create an admin dashboard that will display the test data in a user-friendly manner that will facilitate AT&T’s ability to analyze the test results. A stretch goal for the project will be to include support for Android devices, tvOS, and Android TV devices.

At the end of the project, students will have gained knowledge in user experience design, subjective video quality assessment, streaming video playback, and video compression. Students will also get exposure to software development with Java/Python/Javascript, etc., as well as iOS, Andoid, and/or tvOS development.
