Assessment

The report must no more than 10 pages long (font to be used is verdana, 11 point). If you include either a front cover sheet, list of tables, or reference / bibliography pages these will not count towards the size of the report. Only pages dedicated to the following sections will count towards the 8 page limit:

1. Introduction and background (1page)

2. Design(2pages):
a. The problem statement as to what your application is intending to achieve.
b. What key features your applications going to provide including those that go beyond what was asked for in the scenario.
c. The design of what your system is going to do through the use of flow charts or pseudo code detailing the complexity of the application (i.e. the technical features that you will be implementing). You are required to explain your decisions for your choices in your design.
d. How you intend to test the application to make sure it works correctly. You must describe a number of tests and determine what the outcome of the tests will be (e.g. using one of android testing methods). These tests will then be used to show that your system is working correctly in section 3.

3. Implementation (2pages):
a. You are required to describe your implementation. To do this, short listings of code can be included within this section but the code must be fully described and you must justify why it should be discussed. The description must detail the features and complexity that you encountered when writing the code (for example what problems you encountered and how you solved them).

4. Testing (1page, organised in a table):
a. You must discuss how you performed your functionality testing This requires you to show, by referencing from section:
i. What the test is
ii. The expected result
iii. The actual result
5. Critique (one page):
What worked and didn't work and what could have been done to make it better.
6. References
7. Demo Sheet (demo sheet template will be provided)

II. Assessment Scenario/Problem

You will design and implement a program using Android Java on Android platform and based on an idea proposed by you and agreed with the lab tutor.

During week five, two hours interactive session will be dedicated to brainstorming and generation of ideas using examples from previously developed applications and research projects. By the end of week 5. Project proposals should be submitted to DropBox, with a brief description of the application goals, contents and requirements. Also the tutor will present some seed ideas and will make some phones, sensors, tags, electronic and wireless components available for this session. This session will take place in a one of our new group focused teaching room.

Each project should have at least two interactive mobile development features, here are some features which you can choose from:

– Graphics: writing interactive graphics applications with fast and smooth animation for applications such as games.
– Drawing, or access to camera.
– Connecting and populating a database.
– Utilising sensor inputs: audio, camera, gesture, motion (tilt, accelerometer).
– Location-based applications, GPS, CellID or WIFI. And integration with mapping services such as Google maps Localization and mapping using GPS,
– Wireless connectivity: it could be Bluetooth, NFC or WIFI or connection.

– Handling audio and video.

You could also suggest other interactive features for your project, the selection of the two features has to be agreed with the tutor.

The application can be developed for Android phones, smart watches, VR systems or/and Google Glasses.

Applications (or games) developed solely based on Unity will not be accepted. The application should include at least two Android activity.
The application must be tested on a real Android device.

You should produce a video that shows clearly the features that you have implemented and explains why they address the problem, critically evaluating the result. You should highlight the guidelines and principles that have considered within your design and implementation. This should be a maximum of 10 minutes.
