Project Milestone 4: Presentation

Each group should prepare a 3-minute presentation/demo of their final project.  The presentation should concisely describe what you did and should include video clips of your application.  The expectation is that any slides will be brief, and the presentation will consist of live video captured using screen casting from your Quest, along with a voiceover explaining aspects of your project.

One method of achieving this would be to embed captured video clips in your slides and then record the voiceover using Zoom, OBS, or similar software. The presentation videos will be assembled and shown to the class during the final exam period.

The presentation will count for 10% of the overall project grade. In this milestone we are only grading for the quality of the presentation itself, not the overall quality of your system. Presentations will be graded on the following basis:

• Clarity. Are the concepts and ideas presented clearly and cogently? Are important details skipped? Are appropriate visual aids used?
• Organization. Is the presentation well structured? Does it jump all over the place? Is it repetitive?
• Pacing. Does the presentation fit well into the allotted time? Is it too rushed? Are the presenters "stretching" the material to fill time?
• Motivation. Presentations should be understandable by everyone in the class, not just your team members. Do you set up and motivate your work well? Do you explain why it’s a good idea?

You may want to do a practice talk or two before recording, to make sure your timing is right and that your presentation does a good job of conveying your project. You do not need to worry about everything being “perfect” (in terms of speaking, “umms” and pauses, etc …) but you should appear prepared and the pacing should be good. You also should not feel like you need to create the videos in “one shot."  You can feel free to capture content, pause, do some more, and then piece the parts together.
