– Considered– Taken
Research Design Accomplishments Future Work Resources Time Line Risks Lessons Learned Commercialization Closing Summary
Project - Definition
Less cumbersome method of interface
Versatile and modular workstation
Greater freedom of movement
Enhance users ability without additional
hindrance
Project - Solution
Show proof of concept of non-traditional computing
input methods
Design a demonstration model
Implement alternative user interfaces
Enable full computing ability without a large
workstation
Operating Environment
Aircraft
Watercraft
Confined spaces
Sheltered from the
elements
Loud ambient noise
Intended Users and Uses
Users:– Member of the United States Military
– Avionic Pilots and Navigators
– Aerial Firefighters
Uses:– Display terrain information
– Display weather information
– Assist firefighting efforts
Assumptions
Users will undergo
familiarization with the
system
User is in a loud operating
environment
User is in a secure location
Features

Timeline
Risks
Loss of funding
Loss of team member
Loss of equipment
Change of scope
Lessons Learned
Need for greater coordination between customer and
designer
Loss of a member
Change of project scope
Increased demands leads to expedited schedule of
deliverables
Commercialization
No plans to commercialize
Proof of concept demonstration– Lockheed Martin
– CSIDC
Closing Summary
Ambitious project
Numerous unforeseen events
Project scope changed to incorporate additional
competition requirements
Significant progress made with components
Work needed to integrate components
Need to write hardware drivers and Java Applet
