Project Finalization

Goal: To create a more interactive environment in the classroom through networking of the students.

Product: Our product consists of transparent screens connected together in workstations. The workstations are then connected together along with the teacher control console.

Features:
-Drag and drop files from computer to computer
-Transfer the state on one screen in a workstation to another screen.
-Transparent screens with the image flipped on the other side
-Transparency Control Panel
-Touch Screen monitors (on both sides)

User Interface:
Student: Someone at one of the individual workstations will appear to have a normal desktop. On the right of the screen there will be a panel that can be expandable. On that panel you can see the computers that are being used on the network, and your relationship with said computer (open, request only, closed). Files and projects can then be dragged to another screen. If you are under the request only relationship with another computer and someone tries to send something to you, then you will receive a push notification at the top right of your screen, from which you can either accept or deny the file sharing. This relationship setting can be changed at any time by right clicking the computer on the expandable panel. In addition to the other computers on the expandable menu, here you will also find a meter for changing the transparency on your monitor.
Teacher: The teachers user interface will look very similar to the students’, but with a few minor changes. The first is that the teacher will not have any restrictions in sharing with any of the computers on the class network. In addition there will be a “Share All” icon on the expandable menu that allows the teacher to send a file to all the students in the class. Finally, the teacher will have an additional Projector icon that will allow he or she to put the things that are found up on the wall.

Audience:
The focus group for this product is current High School and College classrooms that are looking for a more interactive experience within the classroom. Whether that be English classes, research groups, design school, or any group oriented interactive class.
