  1. Superior Designs, Inc.Summer 2014 Approved Projects(for prototype delivery December 2014) Instructor: Mike O’Dell

  2. Virtual Drivers’ Training System • Develop a system that will provide drivers’ training using a VR headset (a driving “game”). • Integrate realism by using devices with a “cockpit” including steering wheel, accelerator, brake pedal, turn indicators, etc. • Provide a mechanism to score the student on various driving scenarios. • Sponsor: TBD

  3. Home Irrigation Control System • Develop a system for homeowners to use for watering gardens/lawns. • Integrate sensors with home irrigation system to determine moisture content in soil and adjust watering based on characteristics and water needs of plantings, etc. • Integrate with wireless smartphone app to allow remote configuration and modification of settings, etc. • Sponsor: TBD (Neil Sperry??)

  4. Home Management System • Develop a sensor-/RFID-based system for managing home devices. • Programmable and/or self-learning system to activate or change settings on specified household devices based on presence of individuals in the household. • Could change thermostats, lock/unlock doors, turn lights or ceiling fans on/off, etc. • Sponsor: TBD

  5. Virtual Reality Magic Bus • Develop a “live” tour of something from history, areas inside the human body, the solar system, undersea environs, etc. • Users would be immersed in VR world scenario, using Oculus Rift or other VR device, on a Magic Tour Bus. • “Tourist” could “touch” or point to certain areas/objects of interest to have virtual “tour guide” appear and provide interesting details. • Sponsor: (Paul Sassaman)

  6. Smart Mirror • Develop a system which wirelessly connects a mirror/display to a user's smartphone and displays information for the day. • Interacts with apps such as weather, to do list, calendar, etc. when user is present and displays information in non-obtrusive manner. • User configurable via smartphone app. • Could integrate touch technology if economically feasible. • Sponsor: (Paul Sassaman)

  7. Virtual Reality Training System • Develop a system similar to Magic Bus described previously, but used for corporate training or indoctrination. • Sponsor: Local company which could benefit from such a system.

  8. Autonomous Material Delivery System • Develop an autonomous delivery system using quad rotor or similar lightweight UAV. • System would be able to deliver printed or other light weight materials to multiple specified locations within, say, a building or campus. • Use a small form factor UAV such as the quad rotor with integrated GPS and camera. • Sponsor: Local company or UTA department who would benefit from such a system. Or, possibly, CSE Heracleia lab (Dr. Becker?)

  9. Physical Rehabilitation System • Develop a physical rehab system using a VR headset • Use a 3D camera (possibly Kinect) to detect and analyze movements of a patient in response to the VR environment. • Provide feedback/coaching to improve the exercise. • Provide evaluation/comments to caregiver via web app on patients’ performance. • Sponsor: CSE Heracleia lab (Dr. Becker?)
