Student's Choice Presentations

Topic due 11/1 at 8:59pm Chicago time
Written Critique due 11/8 at 8:59pm Chicago time
The goal of the student choice presentation is for you to critique and present something current that is of interest to you in the area of VR / AR, so everyone in the class can see what variety of things are out there. You have to write and talk about something that actually exists, at least in prototype form. This includes:
    - Introduction to what it is
    - Why is it a good use of VR or AR?
    - Who are its intended users?
    - What are the issues (positive and negative) with it?

Be sure to pick a topic where you will be able to discuss all four issues. The goal here is to show that you can use your knowledge and experience from the class to effectively critique VR / AR hardware and applications. The topic could be a new piece of hardware, or a new piece of software, or VR / AR being applied in a new way or to a new field.

By 11/1 you should send Andy a link to a web page you create that briefly describes the application or piece of hardware that you want to write and talk about. It can't be anything that we have talked about or demoed in class. It can't be anything someone has used as a student choice presentation before (see the list below). The goal here is to show new stuff. Things in other languages or from other countries are encouraged. If multiple people want to talk about the same thing then the person who's email reaches me first gets the topic, so I suggest finding a topic early. I will keep this page updated with the current list of topics that have been chosen.

By 11/8 you should add a public web page to your course website where you should have at least 3 pages of text plus images discussing your topic, including links to all of the materials (videos, pdfs, etc.) that you will use in your talk to the class on your topic.

We will have 9 presentations on each of 3 days. Each person will have 3 minutes for their presentation to the class, and then we will have another 3 minutes for Q/A.

For homework each of these two weeks you should pick one of the technologies that was discussed each week and write up your own critique of it in the usual length and add it to your website.

The topic can not have been presented in class, or presented before by a student in a previous class, so please check your topic with the following list of the previous presentations, and the list below that of topics currently chosen for this term:
