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 5% towards your grade.

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

• The timely scheduling of your presentation in the Pages section on Canvas.
• The video you are presenting and how well if fits under the topic of 3D user interfaces.
• Your level of preparedness for the presentation.
• The quality of your presentation.
• Q&A: Your ability to answer questions from class and instructor about your presentation.

Helpful Questions to Ask Yourself

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

• Give a short summary of the video.
• Who created the video? Is it a company or a research lab?
• What is the video about? What problem did the authors of the video try to solve?
• Why did you choose the video?
• Why should we care about this topic? What impact does the presented work have?
