A tangible interactive hardware interface for instant messaging protocols by Seran Ozel

Instant Messaing has been popular for a while now. This project aims to imporve this facility by combining it with tangible electronic components

which enhance the intreactivity and pleasure whilst using Instant Messaging. This project builds a device called Physical Messenger Notifier which

Tilt controlled interaction with the X-Plane flight simulator by Kit Wong

Flight simulators use joysticks and panels generally to control planes. This project introduces a different navigation systems to these simulators,

one which uses a tilt sensor called SHAKE.  Furthermore, this project discusses the plane control and gesture-based interaction with the X-Plane

simulator.

Efficiency and efficacy of RFID-based order processing and management systems by Daniel Craggs

An in-place evaluation of the applicability (‘efficacy’) and suitability (‘efficiency’) of RFID technology in order management systems, focusing on the

 distribution centre element of the supply chain. Assessments of productivity increases on the business side, customer satisfaction at the destination,

 as well as overall order and process transparency, are facilitated by the creation of a complete framework for the wireless tracking of orders

over their entire life cycle, and the extrapolation of higher-bandwidth information from both sensor and user input.
