Final Project

Outline

• Recap of exam rules

• Definition of “Final Project”

• Domains

• Technologies

• Materials for exemplification and discussion

• What to do and to deliver

• Schedule

Recap: EVALUATION CRITERIA

• Active participation during lectures and/or online (max 2 points)

• Exercises and Question Discussion (max 4 points)

• One specific exercise on Usability Evaluation (max 4 points)

• Mid-term Project (max 5 points)

• Final Project (max 20 points)

If not delivered during the course, all exercises will be done at official appello dates, when also final and mid-term projects must be delivered

• Publishing applications to the Windows Phone Marketplace (3 points)

• Using advance features: GPS, accelerometers, webcam,… (4 points)

• 5° point at the discretion of the professor

DEADLINES:

• 13th December - Start publishing procedural

• 20th December - App presentations in classroom

Mid-term Project

The design and protypical development of a content-intensive interactive application • in a given domain • using a specific hw/sw technology and interaction

paradigm among the ones presented during the course

Outcome:

key users’ requirements + concept + prototype + documentation

(preferably) a GROUP WORK

Final Project: What is this?

DOMAINS

• Cultural Heritage

• Architecture planning/design

TECHNOLOGIES: – Multi-touch (Microsoft Surface or other Multi-

touch table based on Windows 7)

– Kinect

Final Project: Domains & Technologies

• Innovative patterns of (individual or collaborative) interaction with cultural heritage multimedia content (e.g., for museum or exhibition experiences)

• Contents: Man Ray or Nippon Exhibitions

Final Project: Outcome

Requirements & Concept

Requirements

-A description of the “problem” you are addressing (target users and general needs/goals addressed)

Concept

-A set of paper based or video based relevant scenarios (if useful, at multiple levels of abstraction and detail)

-A feasibility study explaining why the solution is feasible and the general sw/hw architecture needed to implement it

An evolutionary prototype (see lesson 4)

– “Horizontal” in the interface and interaction features

• Covers all major aspects, omit heavy “background aspects” of implementation

– “Vertical” in implementation

• MODULAR, only some parts of final system implemented

Prototype

– A short report describing requirements, concept, and key implementation solutions

– A short (10 min) presentation of your work

Documentation

What to deliver A CD/DVD containing

– report describing requirements and concept

– short (10 min) presentation of your work

– Any further file (images, videos, prototype, …)

+ A printed version of the report and the presentation

IMPORTANT!!

CD/DVD cover + cover of ALL documents MUST contain: COURSE NAME, TEACHER NAME, ACADEMIC YEAR, DELIVERY DATE, PROJECT TITLE, STUDENT’S NAMES, EMAIL + CELL PHONE NUM OF GROUP CONTACT PERSON

Potential follow-ups

• Submission of your concept to Imagine Cup (check deadlines!)

– Constraints: Imagine Cup deadlines (check!) + use of MS technology + Millenium Goals theme + interactive protyping (check rules)

– Advantages: great visibility, challenging opportunity

• Completion of your concept (revision, extension, implementation, validation) during 2° semester “Project Course” (Problem Analysis Atelier: 5 CFU): subject to teachers‘ approval

• Completion of your concept (revision, extension, implementation, validation) in your master thesis: subject to teachers‘ approval
