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: 13 th December - Start publishing procedural 20 th 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 – – Cultural Heritage Projects

Multi-touch: – – Kinect – – – – Examples

Collaborative scenarios for Architecture planning and design Contents: from real Architecture projects Architecture planning/design projects

Multi-touch: – – – – Examples

key users’ requirements + concept + prototype + documentation 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, + 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
