Collaborative Museum or Robot Telepresence
Coursework
COMP3010
Overview
• Coursework specification
• Prototyping
• The museum/cultural domain
• Robot Telepresence for healthcare and visiting
Individual Coursework
Collaborative Museum Visiting or Robot Telepresence
• Design a concepts for either:
• Option 1 Collaborative museum visiting system
- Support a group visiting the UoN Archaeology museum
- Visit to the Archaeology Museum
• Option 2 Collaborative robot telepresence system
- Support groups in social settings, such as museums and healthcare facilities
- Visit to CoBot Maker space
• Can target one or more quadrants of the Space/Time matrix
• STSP (e.g. group of friends visiting the museum together)
• STDP (e.g. group splitting up, a friend joins remotely from home, remote human guide)
• DTSP (e.g. location based messages/media left by previous visitors)
• Create a prototype for your system
- using prototyping tools, PowerPoint, or creating a web application interface
• Write a report ( 2000 +/- 10% words)
Your Report should
• Describe the functionality of the proposed system focusing on the collaborative tasks for visiting the museum/robot telepresence
• Convey the design decisions
• Demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the collaboration and communication technologies and how the theory is applied to prototype design
• Discuss your design in terms of related work on
- CCT theory and guidelines
- and other collaborative systems with references
• Be well presented with evidence of critical thinking and reflection
Your Prototype should
• Convey how your designed system should work
• Clearly shows the interactive elements of the design i.e. how the system responds to input(s)
• It doesn’t matter whether its hi-fi or lo-fi
- as long as it clearly conveys your design and is interactive
• A single sketch will obviously not be enough
- it has to be interactive in some form.
• Developing a fully working video chat communication channel is probably a bit overboard
Submission
• Deadline : Wednesday 11 December by 3pm
• Two things through Moodle
• Materials relating to your prototype:
- prototype file and/or link
- or a PowerPoint file
- or code for your website
- Can add videos and/or photos if useful
- etc. whatever you are building
• A report ( 2000 +/- 10% words)
Assessment
Your prototype and report will be marked using the following criteria:
• 60% - Quality of the prototype
• 20% Extent to which key functionality is illustrated
• 20% Level of interactivity
• 20% How well it matches the design decisions presented in the report
• 40% - Quality of the report
• 10% presentation of the design concept
• 20% - Design Rationale based on literature - the reasoning of the design decisions, according to literature on CCT such as awareness, communication, coordination, and other existing systems
• 10% - report’s presentation style. (structure, clarity, good choice of academic references, coherent content)
