Exercise 3: Project

1 Produce Presentation Slides

Once you have been assigned your project topic, you will present your work to me every week (see the schedule) using a slide deck and possibly accompanying live demos and/or videos:

• The first week, you present your initial ideas.
• The next few weeks, you present an incremental update of your progress so far.
• The final two weeks you present a full, self-contained talk (assuming no prior knowledge) about your topic.

See my guide to Making Presentation Slides.

2 Produce One or More Showcase Videos

You will probably produce one or more showcase videos, illustrating your project.

See my guide to Making a Showcase Video.

3 Write a Project Report

Write a project report on the topic your group was assigned in class:

• This is a group exercise.

• Write in English.

• Read my guide to Using LaTeX.

• Use and adapt the example LaTeX skeleton for writing a survey paper for your project report.

• You can also look at some of the project reports from previous semesters of the course.

  Note that these are provided as they were handed in, warts and all. They do not constitute perfect examples of what is expected.

4 Prepare Your Project Folder

Prepare a hand-in folder called ivis-ssYYYY-gN-project, where YYYY is the year and N is your group number (for example ivis-ss2025-g1-project), containing your report and all related materials and code.

Your hand-in folder structure will look something like this:

  ivis-ss2025-g1-project/
    data/
    latex-src/
      diagrams/
      images/
      listings/
    literature/
    presentation/
    software/
    videos/
    ivis-ss2025-g1-project.pdf

Bear in mind:

• Include any data files you used in a data/ folder.

• Include the LaTeX source of your project report in a subdirectory called latex-src/. Delete any files which are not part of your survey paper (my example files, temporary files, junk files).

• Include any additional papers or literature which you discovered in a subdirectory called literature/.

• Include the slides (ppt, pdf, html) from your final presentation in a subdirectory called presentation/.

• Include any code or software in a subdirectory called software/.

• Include any screencast video demos in a videos/ folder. You can make screencasts with OBS studio, Camtasia, or similar software. Include an audio track in English explaining what the viewer is seeing.

• Include the final PDF of your project report in a file called ivis-ssYYYY-gN-project.pdf, where YYYY is the year and N is your group number, for example ivis-ss2025-g1-project.pdf.

5 Hand In Your Work

Zip up as your hand-in folder as a file named something like ivis-ss2025-g1-project.zip and hand it in on TeachCenter.
