Computer Engineering

Free2Play is a website based upon the wildly popular PC video game League of Legends created by Riot Gaming. The website contains helpful information for new and old players of the game, such as articles containing the latest League of Legends new, a rune calculator, and recommended item builds for characters. The website uses HTML5, jquery, node.js, MySQL, and PHP to pull data from Riot’s web API and Champion.gg’s website.


Real-Time Digital Effects Processing Using Ios, Jonah W. Clinard Dec 2015

Real-Time Digital Effects Processing Using Ios, Jonah W. Clinard

Computer Engineering

In today’s society, we are seeing incredible improvements in terms of creating smaller technological devices that behave more and more like the personal computers of yesterday. Mobile “Smart” devices, in particular, are becoming incredibly powerful not just in terms of processing power, but in the fact that they are able to provide assistance to users in their everyday lives. Application developers are now able utilize the power and size of these devices, to create and realize ideas that would have been previously viewed as impossible. This project applies the fields of digital signal processing, music, and mobile application development, to …


Rfid Microscope Lab, Patricia Carranza Sep 2015

Rfid Microscope Lab, Patricia Carranza

Computer Engineering

The RFID Microscope Lab is a new exhibit created for the San Luis Obispo Children's Museum. The goal of the project is to create a modern, interactive exhibit that will teach children about different natural specimens through the use of technology. A computer, custom software, and RFID technology, will be used to display facts, microscopic images, and short videos of ten different specimens.


Seizure Tracker, Zachary Reardon Jun 2015

Seizure Tracker, Zachary Reardon

Computer Engineering

The goal of this project is to make a Module that enables anyone watching a person with disabilities to record any seizure that this person has under their care. Then when the Doctor/parent receives their patient/kid they are able to download all the seizures that their patient/kid had while they were away. The Doctor/parent then has the exact time, the duration of the seizure, and the type of seizure for all the seizures that have occurred while they were away from their patient/kid. From this data it is possible that the Doctor may see some sort of patterns that enables …


Nutty Adventures, Tony Hsu, Mandy Chan Jun 2015

Nutty Adventures, Tony Hsu, Mandy Chan

Computer Engineering

Nutty Adventures is an Android game. The goal is to gather acorns for day-to-day survival, upgrades, and hoarding. Ultimately, the player must have enough acorns by the time Winter comes to fulfill the squirrel’s quest: providing enough acorns for his squirrel kingdom during the barren Winter season. Throughout the days, the player has to keep track of time and monsters, which might influence player decisions.


Automated Solar-Powered Chicken Coop Door, Brenna Yagade Jun 2015

Automated Solar-Powered Chicken Coop Door, Brenna Yagade

Computer Engineering

The purpose of this project was to plan, design, and build an automated, low power system to open and close a chicken-coop door, which is powered through a solar panel.


Slaps Music Sharing App, Maximillian L. Parelius Jun 2015

Slaps Music Sharing App, Maximillian L. Parelius

Computer Engineering

Slaps is a fun way to share new songs with friends. Users can simply select songs from their personal library of music, select a short sample of the song to share, and then select which friends to share it with. If a user loves a song that he/she receives, they can link directly to iTunes through the app to download the full song.


Wau: Location-Based Photo-Sharing And Friend-Finding Android Application, Tam P. Nguyen Jun 2015

Wau: Location-Based Photo-Sharing And Friend-Finding Android Application, Tam P. Nguyen

Computer Engineering

Wau (Where are u?) is a location-based photo-sharing and friend-finding Android application. The basic concept of my app is to help people avoid the hassle of having to call/text their friends in order to know where they are. The ability to simply tap on a name and visually see their location in reference to your own would be a huge convenience. Another neat feature is that it allows users to take and upload pictures wherever they are, and the only way for anyone to see the picture is to be within the same vicinity that it was taken. I imagine …

Using Mobile Cameras To Measure Dye Concentration In Bio-Chemistry Experiments, Jackie Fong, Andrew Lau, Anna Katrina Velasquez Jun 2015

Using Mobile Cameras To Measure Dye Concentration In Bio-Chemistry Experiments, Jackie Fong, Andrew Lau, Anna Katrina Velasquez

Computer Engineering

Many cutting edge chemistry experiments for high ­throughput assays require measuring colored outputs from specially prepared samples. Absorbance from these samples is usually measured with a specialized piece of equipment that adds to the expense, time, and complexity of obtaining experimental results. To make these experiments more accessible, we looked at developing software to allow cell phones or consumer ­grade USB cameras to measure these experiments and quantify the intensity of the output.

What we have compiled thus far is research regarding several different color spaces and attempted analysis on the many channels of color spaces such as RGB, HSV, …


'Fo Fighter: 2d Real-Time Game, Cary Dobeck Jun 2015

'Fo Fighter: 2d Real-Time Game, Cary Dobeck

Computer Engineering

‘FO Fighter is a 2D real-time game for Android and iOS mobile devices. The game utilizes the motion sensors and touch screens built within these devices to give the player a great amount of control over their character’s position and firing direction. This control allows for a reactive environment set in outer space, where gravity is determined by the device’s orientation, while the player must dodge, fight and destroy multiple enemy fighters on each planet in the solar system. ‘FO Fighter has been tested throughout its development cycle on numerous devices on both the Android and iOS platforms, with testers …


Music Dynamic Animations, Thuy-Vy Do Mar 2015

Music Dynamic Animations, Thuy-Vy Do

Computer Engineering

Audio visualization gives a graphical representation to beats, intensity, and the fluctuating sounds heard in music. Music dynamic animation, deriving from this concept of audio visualizers, implements a hard coded range styled beat detection. This algorithm prioritizes graphical representations of classical and instrumental music. These graphical representations are intended to provide a sense of imagery.


Smart Solar Oven, Aaron Gragg Mar 2015

Smart Solar Oven, Aaron Gragg

Computer Engineering

Though solar oven technology provides a green and cost effective means of cooking, it is often not adopted because it fails to meet the demands of speed and reliability that are commonplace in our society. This project explores the modification of a traditional box solar to meet these demands by allowing the oven to report temperature to a user’s phone as well as orient itself towards the sun throughout the day.
