Final Project:

Each group must submit a short proposal of a final project
All proposals must be submitted using the Proposal Template
You must remain within your current groups, unless change is approved by the instructor
With instructor approval, two groups may join to work together on a project requiring 2 ipods (such as a multi-player ipod game)
The main idea is to use the iPod in some larger system.
Project ideas:

The final project must use a wifi/bluetooth interface where the ipod/iphone is part of some larger system, such as wifi control of a robot, a wifi game controller, a 2-iPod game, etc.
Larger groups will be expected to propose larger projects
The project must have a complete iPod app interface with:

Final Presentation: Due last day of class (Dec 5) (50 percent of Final Project Grade)

You must demonstrate your final project in class.
Final Presentation make-up: If your final presentation is not accepted, you have opportunity to do a second presentation, but with a 25% reduced grade. All make-up demonstrations will be conducted during the regularly scheduled final exam period, at which time all final reports are also due (see below).

Final Report: Due before end of the regularly scheduled final exam period (30 percent of Final Project Grade)

You must prepend your initials to your report file name, so the instructor does not receive 30 files named "finalReport.doc."
10 pages maximum

Describe your project in 0.5 pages or less, and on the bottom half of the page include a picure of an example image of your main view

Use a page to describe each of the most important views in your app
Include an overall description at the top of the page
Include a description of the user interface and how buttons/gestures/sliders control the app in each view
Include a figure of the view with a descriptive caption

Fill out the checklist to document that you met all reqirements
Add a conclusion stating everything was OK, or describe why you had any remaining open issues

Attach a copy of your original proposal (will not count toward page count maximum)

All Final Project reports AND source code must be emailed to the instructor before the beginning of the final exam period (Dec 12 5:00 PM).

Place your source code in a zip-file beginning with your initials, so the instructor does not receive 30 files named "finalXcode.zip."
You must prepend your initials to your report file name, so the instructor does not receive 30 files named "finalReport.pdf" and "finalReport.doc."
Your emailed final report MUST include both pdf and doc versions.
To avoid a disaster in your final grade, make sure that your partner can unzip your Xcode zip-file and build your app from the unzipped files. Also, make sure that your partner can read your xyzFinalReport.pdf file before you email it to the instructor.
INCLUDE the course name and number in the email subject line (ECGR4090/5090 Design with iPhone systems).
