PROJECT 2 PRESENTATIONS: 

DESIGNING AUGMENTED REALITY TO SOLVE AN INFORMATION PROBLEM

PROJECT 2 PRESENTATIONS (for class Tuesday, November 26)

On Tuesday, November 26, we’ll have brief presentations from each of you about your Project 2 on designing augmented reality to solve an information problem.  This way Nathan and I won’t be the only ones who get to see the innovative devices you’ve designed!  We’ll devote the entire class period to your presentations.  Since there are 22 projects and 80 minutes in the class that means each of you will present for roughly 3 minutes.  Not much time!  (It may be that we’ll have to save a few presentations for the following Tuesday.)

You’ll want to make the most of your 3 minutes.  Here are some suggestions:

·        Plan out in advance what you want to say (not the words verbatim, but the ideas you want to get across)

·        In 1-2 sentences, give us a sense of what information problem your design is trying to solve (e.g., For the elderly, remembering when to take what medication can be a real challenge.  This design…  Or, for dancers there is currently no easy and accurate way to record dance movements so that others can recreate the dance.  This design…).

·        Then introduce your design as a solution to the problem.

·        Briefly describe your design (e.g., this technology does…).  Show us your mock-up.  Perhaps convey one or two scenarios of use.

·        Tell us 1-2 interesting things about your design, or what you learned by doing it, or??

You may use PowerPoint slides if you wish, but I would be cautious here.  When you don’t have a lot of time, you may be able to convey more just by talking and showing us your mock-up then by the use of slides.  If you do decide to use PowerPoint (or some other technology), please EMAIL me your slides no later than 5 PM on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, so that I can be sure to have them on the computer in 228 Mary Gates Hall.  Also, be sure that you have a back-up presentation that will work well if the technology fails.  (We won’t have much time for trouble-shooting.)

You may also use transparencies.

Have fun!
