TIES Projects for Winter 2009

The following is a list of TIES projects. Please follow the links to see the project posters.

Town and Country Housing Project:
The current project we are working on is to provide a multi-screen display that can run various applications for both entertainment and learning purposes. This quarter we are building a 2 screen or 4 screen prototype that will be presented to the San Diego’s future foundation to acquire funding for a 3x3 screen display.

Middle School Enviromental Education Project:
This quarter we are working on designing and building both an outdoor particulate matter sensor and a handheld particular matter sensor. We are also working on environmentally-oriented lesson plans.

Digital Vision Screening System:
The Digital Vision Screening project aims to screen children for eye disorders cheaply and efficiently using modern day digital cameras. This project has developed an external flash unit compatible with a wide range of digital cameras and improved upon interface and analysis software for processing and evaluating the resulting images.

Student-Run Free Clinic:
The Free Clinic Project is deploying electronic medical record systems for the UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic Project, which operates three clinic sites around the city of San Diego that serve underserved patients. The secure, web-based and mobile applications will enable clinic and pharmacy staff to better manage their patient data.

Grocery Shopping Assistant for the Blind :
This quarter, the team, Grocery Assistant for the Blind, will focus on using the computer programming language, JAVA, in order to customize the user interface layout of the Soylent Grid (a program that saves images of grocery store items). In addition to this, Google Web Toolkit and SQL will be used to store image results into a database for use in future computer systems.

Solar Power Demonstration Project:

Campus of the Future:

Public Alerts System:
Currently the team is working on the first complete prototype to debug the system. After completing the sign, we will duplicate it and have a mini system of signs (about 4) and test the systems in a controlled environment then implement this system into Center Hall. Our Goal this quarter is to have the signs made with most/all the components installed.
