CSE190W2013Paper

Paper Presentation

Each student must give a 15 minute presentation (+ 3 min. Q&A) on a full-length (8+ pages) paper of their choice from the field of 3D user interfaces. The paper must be at least from the year 2000, the more recent the better.

It is required that the presentation be accompanied by a slide presentation. The slide presentation can be done on your own laptop with a VGA output, or it can be emailed or given to the instructor on a USB thumb drive (Powerpoint or PDF format only).

How to Find a Paper

Here is an incomplete list of qualifying conference proceedings. Note that in order to download the full PDF versions of the papers you will need to be logged in to UCSD's campus network.

• IEEE Virtual Reality (VR)
• IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces (3DUI)
• ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
• ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST)
• ACM SIGGRAPH
• SIGGRAPH Asia

Structuring Your Presentation

When you read through a few papers, you will quickly find that most follow this structure:

• Introduction, motivation, hypothesis
• Related work done in the past, and how it relates to the paper
• Methodology
• Results
• Conclusions

Unless you have good reasons not to, your presentation should mimic this structure.
