SE494 week 3

Discussion 

An EARCON is the sound your phone makes (PCs and do this too) when a particular event happens. There’s the “Swooshing” sound when you get an email for instance.

Question 1 Have you set-up any unique EARCONS on your phone?

Question 2 Do you think mobile phone should have a different sound to the caller if your phone is busy? 

Question 3 Would you like to set-up your phone so that if persons A, B, or C (your favorite people) call you and you’re on your phone would you like them to hear something other than “beep … beep …. beep” (means your phone is busy)? 

Question 4 Would you like your favorites to hear some other message on their phone when you’re busy – like maybe a warble tone or a siren sound or something else which means “You’re my favorite person, call me back right away”?

Question 5 What role do you think EARCONs play in applications? 

Question 6 Would you like the EARCON to tell you more information than things like “Yes you got your ordering basket loaded correctly” such as maybe “What a great section of — product  ” etc.

Question 7 What innovations would you like to see in EARCONS?

Ray tracing is a technique that has been around for quite a long time. It allows for images to be generated given some mathematical description of objects in the scene, eye placement and viewport definition. As rays are cast through pixels in the image area, math calculations are used to determine which objects are collided with and the resulting color values associated at each pixel location.

A nice walk through on the underlying technique of ray tracing is provided by:

In this assignment you should:
1. Summarize the ray tracing technique.
2. Describe the underlying math equations for a collision between a ray and a sphere.
3. Describe how color values at a pixel are calculated.
4. Describe how the scene is setup.
5. Describe how shadows, reflection, and refraction work in these simulated scenes.
6. Additional discussion on the state of the art in ray tracing. Why has it taken so long for ray tracing to take off? What recent innovations has allowed for the expanded use of ray tracing technology? Is real-time ray tracing a thing?
7. Provide a ray traced image and describe why this image is better or not than a raster-ized image.

You should submit a report (as a Word document) that is as detailed as possible. This is a topic that you are expected to delve into. Additional resources should be used and cited. Submit your detailed report by the due date posted on Blackboard. No late assignments will be accepted.

 You’ll create both pseudocode and a flowchart to design a mobile app. The app will write the device’s latitude and longitude to a file each time the device’s location changes. Use the techniques discussed in Section 3.3 and Chapter 10 of your textbook to write the latitude and longitude to the file as a record.Write your pseudocode in a plain-text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit, and save as a text file (*.txt). Also, save a screenshot of your flowchart as a JPEG file (*.jpg).

Part 2: GUI Design

In addition to creating pseudocode and a flowchart for your app, you’ll also create a basic GUI design for your app. You can use Microsoft PowerPoint or Apache OpenOffice Impress to lay out your GUI and indicate components such as buttons, text boxes, sliders, and others. Be sure to label your GUI design with component names and indicate their properties. When you’re finished, save your GUI design as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file (*.pdf).
