CSE 40416 - Systems Interface Design

Project # 2 : A map based virtual tour of Notre Dame Campus (and surroundings)

• Target Platform: Microsoft Surface
• Who: Groups of 2-4 students

Due Dates:

When	What	Details
Wed, Oct 26, in class	Paper prototypes & walkthroughs
Nov 18, 21, 22	Project Presentations	Show and tell in the Lab (Schedule a time)
Fri, Nov 18, by 11:00PM	Final project submissions	Wiki page, source code, and installation of executables on MS Surface in lab
Thur, Dec 1, by 5:00PM	Peer reviews	We will do formal explorations this time

The intent is to have you explore the capabilities of a horizontally mounted MS Surface that has multi-touch support and is intended to be viewed from any side. This means that your application should be easily reorientable, should be controllable by touch, and should be usable by more than one user at a time.

Required Functions

Some basic map, satellite view, or overhead situation display as a basis. Google maps and street views are available online through their own API, and can be linked easily to your own WPF program controls using the XAML <Image \> tag. If you choose the "official" ND campus map, that is fine as well.

A variety of reference media and information must be available and should be selectable by some creative method from locations on the map. Providing a text-based search would also be a very nice addition.

Displayed media can be obtained from online sources as well as from content researched and provided by you. Display of videos, drawings, photos, text, and sound should be included.

The content that is part of the "tour" could include ...

• Dorms and Traditions
• History of the University
• Majors and degree programs
• Research projects
• The Order of Holy Cross
• who's who
• Sports
• The band
• Home football weekends -- what is it like? Sights & sounds.
• Images of campus from various seasons
• The basilica
• The main building
• Things to do off campus
• And much, much, MORE ...

Remember that any information displayed should be easily reorientable so it could be shared with users on the "other side" of the surface.

You might create a planned "tour" that moves through campus systematically.

You should allow independent tours / exploration.

BE CREATIVE!!!!

If this is done well, I would hope that we could have this running permanently on the MS Surface in the CS&E Main Office.

I suggest that a WPF application is the easiest way to approach this. XNA will work with the MS Surface, but I am informed it is a more complicated endeavor.

More on What & When

You may work in groups of 2-4 students. We have had some students drop, so reform your groups now.

After break, Wednesday, October 26, in class: Come with a paper prototype of your main map with some content displayed. This may be on 1 - 3 actual paper sheets or digital slides (screen shots, Powerpoint, ...). We will look at all designs and talk about strategies, IN CLASS. You should be prepared to show and discuss the following.

• How the user will interact with the map.
• How the map will be "tagged" so the user will know where content is accessible.
• How content will be displayed.
• How content and map will be reoriented.
• Any other key aspect you plan to include.

Submission

For this project all submissions should be through the SVN repository. Instead of posting your project code online, provide a link to the svn repository. If you need help creating the repository or using SVN, contact the TA.

In the table below, please create an entry and a link to a simple Wiki page describing your project. This page need only have the following.

• Group name and names of members
• A brief description of your project (no more than a few paragraphs)
  • Identify key features and capabilities
  • Identify any significant difficulties overcome in developing on the MS Surface
• A few screen shots of project highlighting its capabilities
• A link to your SVN repository
