Working in teams, students will be required to design, develop, and demonstrate a wearable device for monitoring some form of motor/perceptual/cognitive performance of the user, with internet connectivity. ASSESSMENT METHODS The work will involve two phases with different deadlines: 1. Project idea development. Teams will prepare a short public presentation (elevator pitch) of their project idea, identifying target users, main functions (mid-December) 2. Submission of the project with presentation and demonstration of the working device (mid-February) Assessment will be based on originality, functionality, and ease of use.
