Mayhem

Make a little Mayhem in your world.

As discussed and approved in class we have chosen to upload an executable file containing a working version of Mayhem rather than a web-based version that would have no functionality. The one caveat that comes with this approach is that the demo must be run on a Windows machine as it is built using the .NET framework, which is not supported on Linux-based operating systems.

Tasks Overview

Task 1:

You are watching a movie on your laptop and don’t want to miss a minute of it, even if you have to get up to answer the phone. You know that Mayhem can talk to your webcam to sense when you are not in front of the screen. Set up your computer to automatically pause your movie when you are not there.

Task 2:

You are constantly missing the bus because you forget to leave your house in time to make it to the bus stop. Set up your computer to notify you when your bus (207) is 10 minutes away from your stop.

Task 3:

You are giving a PowerPoint presentation and would like to control the slides from your smartphone. Using Mayhem, set up your phone to allow you to change to the next and previous slides in the presentation.
