Final Project Report

For the final project, it will be helfpful to reflect on your midterm project. You may expand your midterm project, or take a new approach to a Tangible User Interface. You may continue to work as a group (maximum of 3 members) or as an individual. If you work in a group, be clear about each member’s role in the project.

The final project will involve the ideation and implementation of a novel tangible user interface. It may be a continuation of the midterm project or based on a new idea. The focus on the project will be on the originality and quality of the idea more than on the extent of the implementation (although both are of course important). Project output will be the interface prototype itself (and an optional poster or handouts), which will be presented at an open house at the end of the semester. Additionally, students will be expected to write a short report on the project, including preliminary evaluation of their interface or an outline of what types of evaluation might be conducted in the future.

The final report must be in the ACM HCI Paper Format (“CHI Proceedings Format”) and should be 4-6 pages in length, submitted in pdf format. The template is available in Word and Latex. Latex is free and Word is free for UC Berkeley students.
