Build a mobile phone app that uses sensors

• Option 1: The I'm-scared-of-this assignment-assignment:
  • Build an application that plays 5 different sounds when the phone is put in 5 different orientations.
  • Demonstrate the system by video-capturing the system in operation on a real phone.
  • Turn in a web-page URL with:
    • The names of the people in your group and a description of the work they did
    • A video of the system working (target length 3 minutes)
    • A one page written explanation of the components of your system.
    • A link to the source code of your program.
• Option 2: The I'm-awesome-and-Prof-Patterson-needs-to-know-it assignment:
  • Build a text-input alternative to a keyboard that uses the phone's orientation
  • This would be a program that allows you to construct a string by turning the phone and hitting no buttons.
  • Turn in a web-page URL with:
    • The names of the people in your group and a description of the work they did
    • A one page written explanation of the components of your system.
    • A link to the source code of your program.
    • Turn it in here: EEE
• Requirements for the system:
  • It must run a Java program compiled in Eclipse and deployed on the Android platform.
• Admin
  • This is a solo or group assignment. Groups may be no bigger than 3 people
  • In a separate EEE quiz you will be required to independently grade the work of the other members of your group. This may have the effect of modifying their/your grade.
  • You may check out phones for 48 hours at a time to deploy your app.
• Rough grading
  • Group members all agreeing that you did more or less than your share might send your grade up or down a notch
  • To get an A:
    • The program will be demonstrated on a real phone
    • The java program must respond to orientation in real-time and play sounds.
    • Demonstration must be compelling as presented in the video
    • Web-page must be complete
  • To get a B:
    • The system might only work on a simulator
    • The system might have individual components that work but it doesn't work together
  • To get a C
    • The video also fails to show anything happening
    • There are clear errors in the Java program
