Our classes are the mixture of knowing how basic technology works and
hand-on projects to motivate you to "make" something. We expect you to
get some idea from our talk and spend sometime in pursuing self/group study
of the assigned homework. Your work will be presented and get comments
in next week class meet. We shall select a few solid projects to join
the gathering at the end of this semester where all sections join the show.
We will talk about

Project Internet of Things
I pick O'Reilly view point of Internet of Things. He believes in IoT
and Human (in the loop). So here is his view:
Future of
Internet
Internet
of Things and Humans
His talk on Youtube
Your project is to brainstorm a "realistic" project that combine "hardware"
(gadget/sensors/mobile etc) and "sofware" (people/apps etc) that can
"improve" our life. You need to prepare to answer the following
questions:
1) What "problem" you want to solve?
2) Why it is important?
3) How your IoT will help?
4) Technical and business aspects of your IoT.
Each group must hand-in about 4 pages of written up of your project (in the
next class). You must prepare to present your project to the class and
answer the questions from your peers. The presentation must be 5
minutes. The discussion period will be 5 minutes. After all projects are
presented, we will have popular vote for the best project.
Assessment
Your work is counted 25 points toward the final score.
Enjoy!
