Week 9 (7/22/2011) Summer 2011

Week 9 (7/22/2011) Summer 2011

Saratoga Racing Season has started on Friday despite the hot and humid temperature in Troy, NY. If racing could start, RCOS can certainly go in full swing. That is whhat we did. Our day was full. We had a HFOSS presentationhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif (by tele-presence) at Wesleyan University. Zach Rowe talked about his project Flagship safety (slides given below). Lee Sharma and Reily Hamilton talked about Nexus - community based website (slides given below). Once they have finished talking, regular meeting of RCOS started. We had four speakers.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Sean Austin - RCOSUIR http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/user-interface-research-app/

Geoffrey has implemented adding/removing semesters. He is also in the process of adding more majors, double majors and minors. Geoffrey hopes to scrape the catalog of courses. He hopes to have a working version before the end of summer. His talk slides may be found here.

Sean has been reading books and papers to consolidate user interface research. He is on his way of showing his understanding with a prototype of Android weather application. He has implemented a preliminary version and he is planning to release the next version. His talk slides may be found here.

Finally Lee and Reily talked about their progress on Nexus. With their design in good shape they are well onto their implementation. They are also looking with their prospective customers and seeking the help of an interface designer (RPI alumni)

As usual the students asked many intelligent questions. A wonderful way to end a week!
