Here we list the projects for our courses. You can find more detail about them in site postings here. So far we've worked projects during:
Fall 2015
#sasgraphs
Graphs and charts have become a crucial component of most SAS tools, playing roles both in analysis and communication. As users switch between charts, the change in context can be confusing and jarring. With design students, your job is to propose and prototype simple animations that make such transitions more pleasing and easier to understand. Teams may make final presentations at SAS.

#spiral
In the real world, gravity pulls you in a constant direction. Or does it? After all, the earth is rotating. With design students, you will prototype a simple, 2D scrolling mobile game around this concept. Progressing through the game will require constantly rotating the client mobile to redefine gravity. With design students, you will propose and prototype a few game levels, using the game assets they provide.

#tiltastory
The children's book "Press Here" describes a charming 2D world that the reader can "interact" with by tilting and poking the book. But what if it were real? This project will explore this possibility in a mobile web app. You will work with design students to create a charming interactive prototype.

#nonlinear
Khan Academy and similar MOOCs are revolutionizing education, but still deliver knowledge in a linear sequence of videos, even though research shows that learning is highly nonlinear. In this project, you will work with designers to prototype an online, nonlinear interface for delivering educational video content. Part of your work will be to evaluate YouTube and its linking API as a platform for this prototype.

#codeart
The Hunt Library has several very large displays, and needs content for them. The Code+Art competition brings together artists and developers to build dynamic, aesthetic and informative visuals for continuous display at the Library. All appropriate and viable entries will be displayed, the best entries will receive a cash prize next year. The effort is very open, but one possibility is to take the existing dynamic visualization Skimmer and improve it.

#futurepres
While display and input technologies are being revolutionized, presentations are still stuck in the 80s. Through the NexUX Center at North Carolina State University, an interdisciplinary team of faculty and researchers are reviving this form of communication, exploring a range of interactive, non-linear presentation formats enabled by new technology. In collaboration with design students, you will build an interactive prototype of one of these formats. This project may receive support from Microsoft during its life.

#sharks
NC State University's Paleontology Research Lab and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences are working hard to get kids involved in scientific research. Middle school students are finding fossil shark teeth and measuring them to better understand the size of sharks that lived in NC around 10 million years ago. However, only local schools can participate. You will design and prototype an online tool for this citizen science, where anyone can perform a virtual fossil dig for shark teeth, then identify and measure the teeth in their collection.

#seniors
Resources for Seniors (RfS) is a local nonprofit that helps people find the services they need to take care of themselves and loved ones as they enter the later years of their lives. RfS currently publishes a hardcopy directory, and has an online version that needs to be updated for today's responsive web. Your team will work with RfS to prototype a solution.

Work with SAS and Graphic Design to propose tools for managing marketing campaigns
Traditionally known as an analytics company specializing in number crunching, SAS is now expanding its mission to address the broader public. This requires a more general experience-oriented perspective. As an example, they have brought us the problem of managing marketing campaigns, which today involves a much broader array of media than in the past, and offers complex analytics that organizers must act on. With design students, your job is to propose and prototype a feature in a software suite that enables non-analysts to understand, communicate, manage and act on marketing analytics.

Develop a front or back end for the visual quiz game Recognition
The Recognition game is a visual quiz prototyped on mobile devices that functions much like the old quiz show "Name that tune", in which players tried to recognize a piece of music as quickly as possible. With Recognition, players try to recognize an image as quickly as possible. As the image is slowly revealed, plays indicate that they have recognized it by selecting one of several images below. With its heavy use of imagery, the game needs a web back end to serve images. It could also use a web front end enabling play in the browser. You will work with faculty and students from our Art & Design department to prototype these web components. Teams producing good results may be invited to participate in further development of the game!

Build an interactive prototype for the Hunt Library's Code+Art competition
The Hunt Library has several very large displays, and needs help programming them. To work toward this effort, they have organized the Code+Art effort, which seeks to bring together artists and developers to build dynamic, aesthetic and informative visuals for continuous display at the Library. This semester they plan to accept proposals for such visuals. Those selected will be funded for further development next semester, and entered in a juried art competition, with a cash prize. The effort is very open, but one possibility is to take the existing dynamic visualization Skimmer and improve it.

Improve election coverage for the Raleigh Public Record
The Raleigh Public Record is an online newspaper that publishes in depth coverage of civic politics. With every election, they create an in depth voters' guide. In this project, students proposed redesigns of the guide itself, and built backend apps to make producing the guide easier.

Participate in Startup Weekend, Maker Edition
Startup Weekend is an international venue that introduces innovators to entrepreneurship. This semester several students attended Startup Weekend on the Computer Science department's dime and pitched LifeLoop, a system that automatically records your life's highlights without forcing you interrupt your experience with a device. They did very well, and just missed being in the top three! Their work is continuing after the event, and indeed after the class.

Facilitating life-long learning
Swapl allows anyone to share knowledge about a particular subject or skill with anyone in their local community through face to face interaction. Users provide a list of things they want to learn and things they can teach others; the website then facilitates matches and acts as a browsing space to discover new things that they would otherwise not be able to experience.
