Video Presentation

Each student must give a ~3 minute presentation on a current (less than 12 months old) video on an interesting 3D user interface concept (software or hardware) that is available on line through a web link (e.g., Youtube or Vimeo).

Video title and URL need to be entered into the wiki page on TritonEd, for the date you want to do your presentation on.

You don't need to prepare slides or bring a computer. The instructor will play each video from his laptop, without audio. You need to talk over the video. It may be helpful to bring a notes sheet to use during the presentation. While the video plays you can request jumps to certain times in the video, or to pause the video. When the video ends, the instructor can start it over for you.

Grading

Your presentation counts 5% of your grade for the class.

Each of the following things gets graded for satisfactory (1 point) or unsatisfactory (0 points), for a maximum of 5 points.

• The presenter's level of preparation for the presentation.
• The relevance of the video for the course's topic of 3D user interfaces.
• The performance: ability to convey the content of the video to the class.
• Timing: the presentation fits within the allotted time frame.
• Q&A: The ability to answer simple questions about the video and/or the work it presents.

Helpful Questions to Ask Yourself

These may help you prepare for your presentation, but not all need to be relevant for the video you picked.

• Why did you choose this particular video?
• What did the author(s) of the video study? What issue about this topic were the author(s) trying to better understand?
• Why do we care about this topic?
• What methods did the author(s) use? Why are these methods suited to better understand the problem at hand?
• What are the main conclusions from the video?
