Project
Fifty percent of your grade
in this class will be based on a project that you propose. The project
content should be in the broad area of Virtual Reality and should be appropriate
to your background and talents. Example projects from past quarters
have included: building virtual environments, building hardware devices,
researching an area of VR not covered in class and teaching the material
to the class or doing a research paper on the topic, and developing/implementing
algorithms for some aspect of VR software.
The project will be given three grades, based on the project proposal (20%), the preliminary deliverables (40%), and the final deliverables( 40%). The most important part of the project is your project proposal, since it determines everything about your project, including the grading criteria.
Project Proposal
The project proposal should
describe the goals and methods of your proposed project in enough detail
to convince me that you can really finish it before the end of the semester.
If you require resources of any kind (computers, software, VR equipment,
etc.), you should tell me who is providing it. The proposal should
include:
1. Description of your project.
2. Two lists of deliverables:
? Exactly what you will
have ready as the preliminary deliverables
? Exactly what the final
deliverables will be.
3. Grading criteria for
each list of deliverables based on a 40 point scale for each. You
should tell me exactly how I should grade you if you deliver only a part
of what you have proposed. A good approach is to give me a list of milestones
for your project and assign some number of points to each milestone you
achieve. If you are doing a group project, you must specify what
part of the project each person is responsible for and give me separate
grading criteria for each group member.
All project proposals must be approved by the instructor before they become final.
Your Project Proposal is due at the beginning of class
on February 7th.
The Midterm will be on February 14th
