CSE Senior Design I Fall 2014 Sample Projects Instructor: Manfred Huber

1 Wireless Health Display Shirt  Develop a shirt that can measure life signs (e.g. heart rate, EKG), display them, and transfer them to a handheld device  System should work without outside connections  System should measure the life sign  System should display the measurements on the shirt  Sponsor: TBD

1 Secure Optical Interactive Interface  Develop a secure, interactive optical interface that can be built into interactive devices to communicate with a Microsoft Surface to transfer interactive data for gaming (for active game pieces) or health care (for secure health data transfer)  System should allow to upload data (or a program to the object)  Object should “talk” to the table through its interface when placed on it  Object should convey data back to the interface  Tentative Sponsor: Dr. Zaruba

1 Distributed Spot Cleaning System  Develop a System that uses a scalable number of robots and sensors to detect where spots/trash has occurred and sends one of the robots there to clean it  System should detect the occurrence of the spots / trash / items  System should dispatch robots to remove them  System should minimize the amount of energy expended (i.e. distance traveled)  Tentative Sponsor: Dr. Weems

1 Sidewalk Banner Painter  Develop System that can print a multi-colored banner on a sidewalk using either sidewalk chalk or colored sand  System should be able to draw banners at least 20ft in size  System should be compact and transportable  Tentative Sponsor: Dr. Weems

1 Classroom Attendance Tracker  Develop a system that can automatically detect the presence of a student in the class and register it with the professor’s device  System should work without any need for the instructor to identify individuals  System should only register students (or their devices) who are actually in the class  System should work without the student having to enter anything during class  Tentative Sponsor: Nicholas Burns

1 Empty Seat Guidance System  Develop a system that can based on ticket type and seat category direct the individual to an unoccupied seat  System should work without anyone entering occupied seats  System should direct user in an intuitive way  System should work without disturbing others (no turning on light or phones turned bright in the auditorium)  Tentative Sponsor: Your TA

1 Fall Prevention Device  Develop a System (either built into a cane or walker or on the person) that can detect (or predict) falls  System should measure factors related to falling and stability  System should not require any connection and be easily portable  System should provide data to a computer  Tentative Sponsor: Dr. Levine

1 Presentation Remote Wand  Develop a light device that can be used to manipulate objects projected onto a computer screen (like a presentation remote) but with localized functionality  Device has to be light and self-contained  System has to allow moving, zooming and other functions at the location the “want” is pointing at  Device should allow the person to walk in front of the screen and still correctly identify the pointing direction  System should provide data to a computer  Tentative Sponsor: TBD

1 Virtual Clothes Fitting System  Develop a System that can take a 3D scan (3D image or set of images) of a person in a store, estimate their clothes size and allow the person to select clothes from a list and display them on the actual person  System should build a model of the person  System should compute clothes sizes  System should display the clothes on the virtual person  System should allow to turn the virtual person on the screen  Tentative Sponsor: TBD
