Interactive Systems

Note: The Registration Deadline for HISPOS is Tuesday, 11.07! 

Please remember to register there, otherwise you won't be able to attend the exam. 

All important information for the Project Bazaar is summarized on this page: CLICK

Three important things:

• If you can come earlier/leave later, please write me. This would relax the schedule and every group has more time to present. Your team can then of course leave early/arrive later.
• Also use the assigned WiFi channel (see CMS) and set transmit power to a minimum to minimize interference.
• Make sure to add project title and team number on the poster.

Since we no longer have any fixed topics (apart from the exercise sheets) for the tutorials, you can request topics. I have created a forum post for this.

I look forward to your suggestions!

P.S. As soon as I have the slides from the lecturers yesterday, I will upload them to the CMS.

The LaTex template for the final report is online. You can copy a large part of the content from Milestones 1 and 2 (depending on the quality there). The Word version is still having some problems, but I hope to be able to upload it in the next few days. I would recommend the LaTex version anyway and Overleaf for collaboration.

Each team can now download the checklist for their practical project from the CMS (see "Feedback: Download feedback" for Milestone 2). If you have any questions or if something is still unclear, please contact me by mail with the subject "[IAS23] Practical Project - Checklist Team xx" and CC your teammates. You are free to develop your project in a different direction, the checklist is only a suggestion, but not a constraint.

In a few days you will also receive the points and written feedback for the other aspects of Milestone 2. Unfortunately, I still need a few days for the grading. But since I have talked to all the teams about the pseudo-evaluation, everyone knows how to implement a good pseudo-evaluation for their project and this shouldn't stop you from working on your project.

Next week there will be no lecture, but the prototypes will be presented in the tutorials.

• Tuesday Tutorial - 30.05
• Wednesday Tutorial - 31.05
• Thursday Tutorial - 01.06
• Monday Tutorial - 05.06

You will have about the first 15min to set up your prototype. Afterwards, we will look at the prototypes one after the other. You will get feedback for the final Milestone 3 afterwards. 

The group should be able to shortly present their project, what is currently already working (and demonstrate this) and briefly explain what will be done next. Each group has 10-12min to do this. There is no need to create a presentation or anything like that.

For the groups who are using the PN532 NFC Reader: In the forum are some hints on how to use the PN532 NFC Reader.

For Exercise Sheet 2, a few assignments have been updated to better match the material from the lecture. You should also bring your hardars to the tutorial for the next two weeks, as you will now be working with the complex sensors and actuators there. Then you can build and try out the examples directly in the tutorium.

Next week we will work with the hardware in the tutorials. Therefore, please bring your hardware with you.

The final deadline for creating teams is 27.04 23:59. All teams must be registered in the CMS by this time. Otherwise, the project cannot be passed and you will fail the lecture. If there are any problems, you can contact me (julian.wolter@dfki.de).

After the deadline for the teams, the upload of submissions will be activated in the CMS. You can then submit your milestone 1 and the exercise sheet.

If a tutorial happens to fall on a public holiday, you can simply go to another tutorial. You don't have to go to another tutorial as a team, you can also split up. Just make sure each of you has hardware in case it is needed (like next week).

All of you who attended the first week (or informed your tutor of your absence) should now have found a team. Please make sure that you also register as a team here in the CMS (on the personal status page).

If you missed this (and did not let your tutor know that you would not be able to attend the first week), you will now have to find a team yourself. We recommend using the forum in the CMS for this purpose. 

We would also as an exception drop the rule that all team members have to be in one tutorial for latecomers. For the prototype presentation, however, all team members would have to agree on one tutorial slot.

Without a team that has handed in Milestone 1, you will not be able to pass the lecture, as you will not be able to pass the project.

Therefore, please take care of your own team as soon as possible. Your team must also develop an idea and submit it to Milestone 1 (deadline 30.04). Please use the forum, as it should be easiest way to find a team for latecomers.

Dear students, welcome to the new semester! 

The first lecture will take place on Thursday, April 13th from 14:00-16:00 in HS002 E1 3. 

Due to our planning you have to register in the CMS until Saturday, April 15th 23:59.
Tutorials will be assigned Sunday before 12:00.

The tutorials will start next week. Please be present during the first week as teams will be created and hardware will be distributed!
If you cannot be present, please inform your tutor and try to find a team in the forum.

In addition to the on-site lecture, we will upload the online videos of the last online iteration. These videos serve as additional learning material.
Only the material from the on-site lecture is relevant for the exam. The content of the videos may vary.
