Week 11

Presentation Remuneration 


Summary 
  • Different types of remunerations
  • Remuneration is a payment for the benefit of worker
  • How much are you worth
  • How to add value to myself
  • Reward system

Strengths
  • Entertaining start with a scene from a movie
  • Shows lots of results from researching 
  • Using statistics in relation to UNSW student
  • Presented by 2 members (Jordan and Hayley)which both have good understanding of Remuneration
  • Good use of graphic to provide information e.g. Timeline was used
Improvements
  • could've make more relations to their project, stated that remuneration does not relate.
  • more picture to make the slides more interesting along side with the states
How does Remuneration relate to our group?



Work Process

Adding speaker notes to existing and new slides
At the start of the project our original understandings of the driving machine was to provide an emulated real world condition to train and educate truck drivers which was incorrect, after we presented to russell our client we received feedback and explanations
 The first process we tackled the project is on the top right, the design of the physical wheel then we continued our project to the second process of using ardiuno microprocessor to convert physical input of steering in data which is then using codes to interprets the input data and sends it to the game simultaneously

After researching possible designs and considering the benefits of each, we decided on a design that we would aim towards.

 List of material that we have did research on that are suitable for our project which is also relatively  cheap to get and easy to access across the world
solder for extending connections between arduino processor and potentiometer drill jig saw and circular saw for screwing and cutting plywood sheets to size After researching the best possible ways to document the arduino.



Because we wanted the design to be easily repeatable laser cutting and 3d printing were suggested. this is a laser cut plywood setup that is very similar to our concept with the steering wheel and throttle control.

 

The Arduino Board went through several stages of design development and changes. At first we theorized what would be the best way to set up the Arduino board to be used to steer and accelerate at the same time. Due to lack of knowledge at the time we continued with work and had to change it to fit the ability for Unreal to translate the knowledge into movement and steering


 
  The coding of the Arduino revolved around it translating the serial data of the potentiometer and two buttons and that becomes the steering and accelerating of the vehicle in the Driving Machine project.
So the code then transmits the serial data to Unreal.
 
The tutorial was the first to be adapted and changed to suit the needs of testing the driving setup for the visual code and the Arduino board. Using the premade driving level provided by Unreal we were able to create an instance for the game to be compatible with the Arduino controller.

  Back features a "door" with magnetic catch allowing easy access to the electronics inside Interior Steering column, cable ties are to hold in place while gluing.PVC conduit provides stationary support and reduces friction for turning wooden dowel Side panels supports Rear door hinges Steering column detail. (Note: cable ties are temporary support while glue dries)

Week 10

Conflict 

Summary
  • Source of conflict
  • Types of people causing conflict
  • Avoiding conflict - not a way to resolve conflict matters and it will actually get worst ( Snowball effect)
  • How to resolve conflict
  • Impacts of conflict 
Strengths

  • Very detailed definition for introduction
  • Entertaining start
  • Nice layout and design overall
  • Real life example and using past project as an example
  • Good style of bold use in font for keywords to highlight the important words
  • Looking at different aspects of the topic
  • Good use of example to relate back the topic to pass projects and their project
Improvements 
  • Too generalised not specific enough
  • Spelling mistakes
  • Not really familiar with presentation
How does conflict relate to our group?
Conflict can be a beneficial source to motivate people and pull themselves together as a team, we didn't have much conflicts in our group since there were no failure of communication, also using a hierarchy network minimised the possibility of conflict as the leader is giving orders and monitoring each team member with their work. Everyone was dedicated to the project and finish off what needs to be done individually and in collaboration we completed the project together through clear communication and good team work.

Work Process 

Gathering information for Final presentation


setting up layout for presentation

  1. Eye Catching and unique starting to catch audience attention and design my own rather than using templates that everyone knows is from Microsoft.
  2. consistence in slides and use of color
  3. contents
  4. qualities of images
  5. less words in the slides as possible, make slides more interesting

So I came up with main objectives and contents that should be include in our presentation

  1. Introduction of our project
  2. Stages of Development in Detail
  3. Hardware and Software used
  4. How we used them.
  5. Documentations of work from each team member to explain in depth 
  6. General slides

Week 9

Intellectual Property 

This weeks presentation is on IP(intellectual Property) delivered by Dara, Andrew, Shanny, Daniel 
and Matthew.

Summary
  • Regested Design
  • Trademark
  • Patent
  • Copyright

Strengths 
  • limited text on presentation slides 
  • use lots of examples even use another groups project which help the delivery of inflammations to audiences 
  • explaining information through images showing all team members have basic understanding of the topic IP
  • created and explained how IP relating back to their project the oculus rift
  • consistent and simple layouts of slides
  • used powtoon to create the animation (like our group)
Improvements
  • animation was too fast
  • some information was repetitive

How does Intellectual Property relate to our group?
We used a lot of tutorials online which we have reference and we cannot claim the work we have done is ours, however we can apply the design on the driving wheel design as we designed and created, the coding is a open source as our aim was to provide people around the world with a set of instruction to replicate our driving machine, materials all being all recorded and referenced.


Work Process

Setting up the site Russell provided for our truck to be drive 


Cameras are also setup for interaction within the site


The 3 main blind spots I figured out for the truck to be reverse into the site.
