L3 Student projects

At the networking event in the Gandhi Hall, I presented a pitch of seven projects which I would be able to supervise or advise. These projects were:
  • Augmented Reality (AR): Develop a game using AR as the main framework. This is very much related to latest advancements in gaming, using head-worn displays.
  • Leeds Met on the Map: Following my Ideas Factory Award, I proposed to students to develop 3D models of the Leeds Met campus buildings specifically for the web interface.
  • Learning Object: For the International Faculty, develop a cultural simulation for the module "European Business Culture and Practise", linked to a TQEF-funded project.
  • VR in Psychology: Develop an interactive tool for use in physiological investigation.
  • Soccer Game: Link with Engagement project of Health Faculty, using video of goal keepers' view.
  • Yorkshire and Gujarat: Create multimedia experience for the project on Climate Change Awareness.
  • Promotional game for movie: Peter Kershaw's new movie project "The Last Coiner" needs a promotional interactive game on the BBC Big Screen.

These projects have the overall aim to link students to ongoing research and development activities. All of them are listed on the Innovation Bank web site.

Another project was later added:
  • DVD about Student Placement: students who undertake placement, are being interviewed, and a video/DVD is created from these interviews. This project is linked to the International Faculty.
