Presentation

Each student needs to give a 5 minute presentation on a current (from 2020 or 2021) video that describes an interesting 3D user interface concept (software or hardware). The video must be available at a URL on-line (e.g., Youtube, Vimeo, etc.)

There are two components to the presentation:

1) Scheduling: You need to enter your name into the scheduling table on Canvas under "Pages", for the date you want to do your presentation. The deadline for scheduling is Sunday, January 17th at 11:59pm. You can enter or change your video and its URL at any time after this deadline. You can also change the date later on, as long as time slots are available. There can be at most 3 presentations on any given date.

2) Presentation: On the day of your presentation you need to give your presentation via Zoom during the lecture. By that time you also need to have filled in your video's name and URL, and you need to upload your presentation to Canvas in PDF format.

Your presentation should take about 5 minutes to present, plus a few of minutes of Q&A.

Start by sharing your screen and playing about 1-2 minutes of the video. You can jump around to different times in the video if it's long. You can talk over it if you would like, or play its own audio. Prepare a few slides on the video and present them to the class after showing the video.

Grading

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

The score of your presentation consists of the following components:

• Timely scheduling of presentation date on Canvas: 5%
• Relevance of the video for 3D user interface R&D: 15%
• Your level of preparedness for the presentation: 20%
• The quality of your slides and presentation: 40%
• Your ability to answer questions from class and instructor about your presentation (Q&A): 20%

Questions to Answer in Your Presentation

You should address at least the following questions in your video:

• Who created the video? E.g., company, research lab, enthusiast.
• Where was the work presented? E.g., research conference, trade show, web site.
• What is the video about? What problem did the authors of the video try to solve?
• Why did you choose this video?
• Why should we care about this topic? What impact does the presented work have?
