There are two components to the presentation:

1) Scheduling: You need to enter your name into the wiki page on TritonEd, for the date you want to do your presentation on by Monday, April 9th, 11:59pm. You can add or change title and URL at any time after this deadline. You can also change the date later on, as long as time slots are available. There are 4 time slots for each listed date. (1 point)

2) Presentation: On the day of your presentation you need to bring a laptop with your slides and an HDMI output port, or email the URL for the slides to the instructor. Your slides need to include a video that you created yourself and which shows the app running in VR mode. The video needs to be about 1 minute long, and you should either talk over it while you record it or talk over it while you show it in class.

You are allowed to bring a notes sheet and use it during the presentation.
