"Peripheral measurements"; A computer interaction monitoring (CIM) software developed in partial fulfillment for my human-technology interaction master's thesis project. In this project, I explore whether an association exists between individuals' work engagement and their computer use patterns.

To use, rename the .exe file to include a participant's unique id number. For example:
perimeasure-IDNR.exe --> perimeasure-1234.exe
Running the program will create a database that is stored on the participant's device. The following data is collected in 1-minute intervals:
- Number of keystrokes (without identifying the keys themselves)
- Number of clicks
- Number of scroll events
- Number of corrector keys pressed (Backspace, Delete, CTRL-Z)
- Between-key intervals: the average elapsed time between two subsequent keystrokes was measured each minute. If subsequent keys were pressed after 5s or longer, the between-key interval was not included in the average.)
- Within-key intervals: when a key is pressed and released, two distinct events are registered (i.e., key-down and key-up). The elapsed time between these two events is recorded for every key. Keystroke duration is therefore measured and averaged per minute.)
