Please refer to the document attached for instructions.

There are 5 small separate activities that will be done in 5 separate documents. Please see below. Use APA style to list and cite sources. Provide live links to all sources you list. 1) Resear ch and report on rapid interface design tools Interfaces are often designed using very rough prototypes, rapidly deployed by using a variety of development tools. Two exampl es of systems designed for rapid prototyping using a sketching interface are AMICO Sketchify and SILK (Sketching Interfaces Like Krazy). Explore the websites of each or search for other rapid interface prototyping tools and choose one to profile. Create a brief article introducing the concept of rapid prototyping and describing the software tool selected. Use im ages or scree n captures . (200 - 500 words) 2) Inst all and test a freeware Voice Command/Dictation program Download and install a freeware or demo version of voice - recognition software. Explore the basic functions of the software, and assess it for ease of use, accuracy, and compatibility. (One example can be found at E - speaking.c om.) Write a brief review of the program, describing your experience, and document your explorations of the software with video screen captures of voice command or transcriptions of text dictation. (200 - 500 words) 3) Describe intera ction methods for a non - traditional computing device Many non - traditional, digital devices exist, each of which has its own methods for input and control of operations. Some examples include automobile computers, digital cameras, digital audio recording devices, PDAs, cell phones, iPods and many other specialized devices used in medicine, manufacturing or physical plant control systems et c. Choose a device and profile it, describing in detail the hardware itself, its application(s), types and sources of input, and the methods and options available for user control. Include some evaluation of the interface for the device, including your own observations or opinions regarding limitations or weaknesses in the design. Present your findings in the form of a Word document including illustrations or other relevant images . (200 - 500 words) 4) Describe a specific compute r - managed manufacturing p rocess Computer output is no longer only in the form of information. For many years’ computers have been used to control specialized output devices, producing physical objects as output - everything from embroidered clothing and automobil e parts to chemical products, and thousands of others. Research a specific system of this type, and describe its functions, products, benefits and limitations, paying particular attention to how it is controlled and to any special technologies employed. U s e images too. Report your findings in an illustrated article . (200 - 500 words) 5) D escribe a large - scale display system Describe and document one of the above massive scale display systems, including available technical and cost information, design features and limitations. Examples include sports stadium graphics boards, large - scale display for special even ts or attractions (e.g., the Fremont Street light show in Las Vegas), or the proposed Cloud (for the London 2012 Olympics). Report your findings in an illustrated article . Use images too . ( 200 - 500 words)
