Goal

This lab course covers mobile applications for smart devices, ranging from standalone applications, embedded systems including hardware and sensors to the design of modern interfaces for complex business applications. Students learn and apply software engineering and usability engineering techniques. This includes object oriented modeling and system design as well as the realization of graphical user interfaces, usability testing, continuous integration and continuous delivery. Real industrial partners provided the problem statements and acted as clients. 11 companies participated in the iOS Praktikum WS 15/16, each with a different problem statement and its own team. More than 100 students delivered these applications using agile techniques and communicating continuously to their clients.

Project Overview

The following companies participated in the iPraktikum. You can find details about the projects including videos of the final presentations and demos. We would like to thank Boinx TV for the continuous support with the video recording!

Organization

The chart shows the project based organization of the course. All projects are shown as columns including information about customer, project management and student team. A team of eleven student coaches dealt with the project management of the teams. Furthermore cross-project teams with one member of each team (horizontal bars) dealt with different aspects during the project. The release management team was in charge of the right usage of version control, continuous integration, continuous delivery and feedback management. The Merge Management team kept an eye on the right use of the git branching model and the incorporation of a pull request workflow. The modeling team was responsible for the modeling activities including the creation of informal models, i.e. trailer, mockups and UML diagrams to improve the communication of difficult aspects within the team.

Projects 

iCATCH

Project: iCATCH

The iCATCH (Smart City Hub) is an upright head-high touch-screen which can be deployed in different environments such as public places and transportation systems.To people who are close to the device it offers several services like city information, mobility information or navigation services as well as the possibility to connect with other people who are nearby.
The service implemented in this project not only allows people to find the way to their destination but also be able to deliver feedback about their surroundings.

IgniteV-Eye

 

 

  

Project: Ignite V-Eye

Ignite Adaptive Sports tries to help visually impaired people to enjoy skiing by increasing their independency during skiing. Ignite V-Eye reduced the dependency between instructor and skier by providing the self-made hardware on instructor's poles to guide the skier through gentle vibration armbands. The vibration initiated by the ski instructor through the mobile application.

Project: CHEST

CHEST is a Human-Centered Cyber-Physical System made for action forces wearing protective equipment. It provides live health data of mission participants to a doctor who can monitor this data and allows interaction with the participants in critical situations. Additionally, it includes a 3D printed cooling system that reduces the physical fatigue and extends the operating time of the participants.

Project: iWash

iWash makes the washing machine smarter and the laundry process more convenient to the user. The app extracts the washing instructions from the symbols on the clothing’s label and sends them to the washing machine so that it can choose the best program for its current content. It also prevents items to be 
washed with the wrong program.
