List of Definitions GPIO – General Purpose Input Output I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit bus SPI – Serial Peripheral Interface CSIDC – Computer Society International Design Competition
4
Summary Project – Definition – Solution Operating Environment Users and Uses Assumptions Features Limitations Deliverables Approaches – Considered – Taken Research Design Accomplishments Future Work Resources Time Line Risks Lessons Learned Commercialization Closing Summary
5
Project - Definition Less cumbersome method of interface Versatile and modular workstation Greater freedom of movement Enhance users ability without additional hindrance
6
Project - Solution Show proof of concept of non-traditional computing input methods Design a demonstration model Implement alternative user interfaces Enable full computing ability without a large workstation
7
Operating Environment Aircraft Watercraft Confined spaces Sheltered from the elements Loud ambient noise
8
Intended Users and Uses Users: – Member of the United States Military – Avionic Pilots and Navigators – Aerial Firefighters Uses: – Display terrain information – Display weather information – Assist firefighting efforts
9
Assumptions Users will undergo familiarization with the system User is in a loud operating environment User is in a secure location
10
Features Small overall physical size Components mounted on hand do not exceed 8 oz. Discrete component placement Modular components One hand for system control Redundant data entry
11
Limitations Battery lifespan Right eye operation Length of use causes eye strain

Timeline
33
Risks Loss of funding Loss of team member Loss of equipment Change of scope
34
Lessons Learned Need for greater coordination between customer and designer Loss of a member Change of project scope Increased demands leads to expedited schedule of deliverables
35
Commercialization No plans to commercialize Proof of concept demonstration – Lockheed Martin – CSIDC
36
Closing Summary Ambitious project Numerous unforeseen events Project scope changed to incorporate additional competition requirements Significant progress made with components Work needed to integrate components Need to write hardware drivers and Java Applet
