Here is the English translation:

Professor Chang's research areas include motion controlled technology, welfare technology, learning technology, and social inclusion. In recent years, his main research contributions are in applying motion controlled technology/augmented reality to support employment for people with disabilities, and assisting social workers to improve employment services for people with disabilities. Professor Chang has published his research in prestigious academic journals including IEEE Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine, Research in Developmental Disabilities, and Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities. To date, he has published over 39 journal papers, of which 35 are SSCI/SCI journal papers. Professor Chang has over 3000 citations on Google Scholar, especially for his papers on Kinect (motion controlled technology) which are ranked first in the world by citation count. 

Professor Chang is dedicated to assistive technologies for people with disabilities, and pioneered the application of haptic technologies for people with disabilities. Since the paper was published in Research in Developmental Disabilities in 2011, it has been cited over 1200 times. In 2010, Professor Chang was invited by ACM SIGACCESS to write an article, the first and only scholar from Taiwan to receive this honor since SIGACCESS was founded in 1994. In 2009 and 2012, Professor Chang led students to participate in the ACM Student Research Competition on Accessible Computing, winning third place worldwide honors twice. In the past decade, he has led 12 Ministry of Science and Technology projects, and served as the lead investigator for an integrated sensing technologies project.

Internationally active, he  served as an editor for the International Journal of Distributed Sensor Network, program committee member for 7 international conferences including ACM and IEEE, and reviewer for 20 SSCI/SCI journals including Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. From 2009-2012, he served as the director of the Computer Center at CYCU for 3 consecutive years, promoting many innovative information services on campus including the 1999 customer service hotline, introduced CMMI ML2, led the Computer Center to pass ISO27001 international information security certification with zero deficiencies for 6 consecutive assessments by SGS, earned accolades from TANet for outstanding leadership and coordination abilities. In November 2011, he was honored with the TANet Outstanding Individual Award. In 2017, he won the Best Paper Award at TANET2017 with his paper on image recognition technology, and again in 2018 for his work on assistive technologies for people with disabilities. Because of his achievements in helping technologies, Professor Chang was appointed Distinguished Professor at CYCU in 2015 and 2021.

桃園蜂巢公益合作社 參訪與對談

週末舒服不冷的天氣,電子系師生前往桃園蜂巢公益合作社,社工苡安與三位精神障礙學員已經泡好茶在等著我們到來。社工苡安是政大社工所畢業,剛好是我好友政大社工所長王增勇教授的愛徒。
社工苡安先跟同學們解說蜂巢的服務內容,接著由三位精障者分享她們發病前與發病後的故事,被貼上標籤不被了解真的很難過,來到蜂巢後重新與社區接軌,藉由販售二手衣物及烤蕃薯賣咖哩飯,有社區民眾居然可以像朋友一樣叫出精障店員的姓名,這對精障者是莫大的鼓舞,被接納的感覺真好。
課後同學們很好奇精障者的生活世界,留下來詢問更多問題,相信這只是一個開始,你我都可以在生活中隨時伸出雙手。

阿宅變暖男 中原電子創造二手電腦奇蹟

原本被淘汰、生命即將進入盡頭的舊電腦,遇到了中原大學電子工程系的暖男、暖女,變身成為非營利組織與偏鄉居民的資訊寶物!10年來,電子系的師生累積幫助超過千部二手電腦重獲新生,不但展現科技人的愛心,更縮短弱勢族群的資訊落差。

維修舊電腦?這似乎是一件再普通不過的事情。但在中原大學,一群電子系師生本著「簡單的事重複做、重複的事認真做」的精神,竟然讓這樣的「小事」持續了10年之久,更發展成為赫赫有名的「場域應用與服務設計」服務學習課程。 

每年都有一批學生們,在電子系張耀仁老師的領軍之下,捲起袖子維修企業捐贈的舊電腦,搭配微軟(Microsoft)捐贈的作業系統與文書軟體,提供非營利組織「開機即用」的免費二手電腦。

使用Kinect 結合雷射視覺導引改善帕金森症行走能力 (Brunel University)

Brain Power 自閉症兒童的輔助科技

Brain Power 公司運用Google智慧型眼鏡開發出自閉症兒童的輔助科技,不僅可以辨識對方的情緒,甚至當媽媽叫小孩的時候,如果小孩不去看媽媽的臉,程式會把媽媽的臉畫成喜愛的卡通人物(例如比卡丘),吸引小孩子的目光,當小孩子把臉對準媽媽時,媽媽的臉就會重現,用這種誘導的方式訓練小孩子表現出正向的社會行為,用遊戲的方式協助兒童融入社會。
