Projects
• Interactive Campus Map
• Global Positioning System - Device for the Visually Impaired
• Adjustable Table Project
ICMICM
• Objective: To help students with physical disabilities locate the best accessible path between campus locations by drawing a map
Interactive Campus Map
Semester Goals• For the first half of
the semester, produce a working version of the ICM for the Engineering Mall area
• For the second half of the semester, expand area and plan improvements
Tasks
• Web interface needs to be integrated with back end code
• Database needs actual GPS coordinates
• Need a program to connect pieces of project
• Expand to more of campus
• Get user feedback – Plan new features
Web-Interface
• Facilitates channeling of the user input data to the best path implementation routine
• Simple and easy to use
• Needs to be easy to maintain for future semesters
Node Database
• Database example• For GPS coordinates (Latitude, Longitude)
Node Name GPS Coordinates TYPE Neighbors
1 PHYS 6.285, 1.225 Door 2,4,9,10
2 MSEE(NW) 6.654, 3.256 Door 1,7,9,14
3 MSEE(SE) 6.542, 3.2545 Door 4,5,6
4 INT1 6.021, 3.021 Intersection 1,3,6
This Semester
• Team transition attempted
• Detailed semester plan
• Trying to get real GPS data
• Updated image code
• Have met with project partner, and continue on the same course of action as last semester with their approval

Overview
• To design and implement a portable device that will enable students who are visually impaired to navigate around campus by the use of the global positioning system.
Team Transition
• Integrated new members
• Catch up and distribute access to team resources
• Assessing tasks for recently acquired members
• Reorganizing directory structure to ease in future team transitions
Semester Goals
• Determine the node data structure, in addition to the program flow/class structure
• Work on component functions, integrate into program
• Develop prototype
Tasks
• Voice output solution
• Schedule parsing
• Best path– Turn-by-turn directions
• Project partner feedback – new features?
Current State
• Semi-working user interface– Building code input
• GPS Receiver interaction– Displays NMEA standard on screen
• Best Path Algorithm– Multiple versions of alpha quality algorithms
Current Semester
• Obtained Windows CE programming documentation
• Obtained hardware to use in the development of the project
• Alpha code written for the schedule parser button
• Reevaluated best path methods• Met with Project Partner
Adjustable Table Project
• Table– Requirements:
• No more than 130 lbs
• 5 lbs of closed fist lifting force to adjust table
• Adjustable from 24 to 36 inches
• Less than $500 to manufacture
– Status of Table• Currently on 3rd and final Prototype
Phases Completed(Adjustable table)
1. Specification development/planning
2. Conceptual design
3. Product design
4. Production
5. Redesign
6. Test and Survey
7. Submit for Production
Final Steps
• Drawing in AutoCad needs to be updated and finalized so project can be submitted
• Table needs to be tested by users
ICM Kiosk
• Requirements
– Easy to use while in wheelchair
– Print best path to classrooms
– Obey all design standards for people that have a disability
Phases Completed(Kiosk)
• Specification development/planning • Conceptual design • Product design • Production • Service • Redesign or retirement and disposal
