Student Deliverables

decide on several subtopics (with approval by the instructor)
gather core readings
create a resource page on the course wiki for other students
prepare a presentation summarizing the topic (full class)
Deliverables reflect the above, i.e., the resource page and the presentation. The Seminar grade will also reflect student participation in other class discussions.

Two assignments will give students hands-on experiences coding ubiquitous interfaces.
Assignment 1: Shared Phidgets coding exercise
Assignment 2: To be determined with the student(s), e.g., pen-based programming of a tablet Programming cell phones, PDAs, etc.
Deliverables are a demonstration of the developed system, a short video of it being used in action, and an archive page on the class wiki including all the software (source, executables, documentation) in an easily deployable package

The student must propose and carry through a major project in this area, with the project agreed upon by the instructor.
Projects can cover a broad range of topics within this area, and may focus on (for example):
- a study of a particular niche relevant to ubiquitous computing and/or domestic environments
- implementation of a significant tangible device and / or information appliance
Deliverables will be the actual study results/system development, an archive of this material on the class wiki, and an 8-10 page report in ACM CHI format
