CSE 490 RA, TABLET PC Capstone, Final Demos

Thursday, 10:30 am - 12:20 pm

CSE 305 in the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science and Engineering

Student teams will give demonstrations of their projects. The students have devoted the entire quarter in exploratory development of novel Tablet PC applications. The three projects are: shared note taking, handwriting based editing, and recognition of data structure diagrams. (Screenshots are from their V1 prototypes - new screenshots will be available shortly).

Shared Note Paper

This project is to support multiple tablet sharing the same sheet of note paper, with ink transmitted to all machines in real time. The current implementation allows up to 10 users to work together, and with various facilities for controlling which ink is displayed. The users share an infinite sheet of paper, and have the ability to independently navigate and zoom.

Handwriting Editor

This project is to support hand written editing of hand written notes. Words and phrases may be crossed out, inserted, or moved, and the surrounding written text reflows to accomodate the changes, just as traditional keyboard based editors handle text modifications.

Diagram Recognition

The diagram recognition project was to identify and parse the type of diagrams that come up in a data structures class: arrays, trees, and linked lists. The motivation was to investigate providing automatic support for analyzing lectures and student work.

If you plan on attending the demos, please RSVP to Richard Anderson (anderson@cs.washington.edu). A reception will be help in CSE 303 after the demos.
