Description
RecyclePlus is an iOS mobile application that allows users to be knowledgeable in the realms of sustainability. It gives encourages users to be environmental responsible by providing them access to recycling information. In particular, it allows users to search up certain materials and learn about its recyclability and how to properly dispose of the material. Some searches will show locations of facilities near users that collect certain materials and dispose of the materials properly. This is a full stack software project that explores open source software and APIs, UI/UX design, and iOS development.

Description
The quality of user interface designs largely depends on the aptitude of the designer. The ability to generate mental abstract models and characterize a target user audience helps greatly when conceiving a design. The dry cleaning point-of-sale industry lacks quality user interface designs. These impaired interfaces were compared with textbook design techniques to discover how applicable published interface design concepts are in practice. Four variations of a software package were deployed to end users. Each variation contained different design techniques. Surveyed users responded positively to interface design practices that were consistent and easy to learn. This followed textbook expectations. Users however responded poorly to customization options, an important feature according to textbook material. The study made conservative changes to the four interface variations provided to end-users. A more liberal approach may have yielded additional results.

Description
Over the course of computing history there have been many ways for humans to pass information to computers. These different input types, at first, tended to be used one or two at a time for the users interfacing with computers. As time has progressed towards the present, however, many devices are beginning to make use of multiple different input types, and will likely continue to do so. With this happening, users need to be able to interact with single applications through a variety of ways without having to change the design or suffer a loss of functionality. This is important because having only one user interface, UI, across all input types is makes it easier for the user to learn and keeps all interactions consistent across the application. Some of the main input types in use today are touch screens, mice, microphones, and keyboards; all seen in Figure 1 below. Current design methods tend to focus on how well the users are able to learn and use a computing system. It is good to focus on those aspects, but it is important to address the issues that come along with using different input types, or in this case, multiple input types. UI design for touch screens, mice, microphones, and keyboards each requires satisfying a different set of needs. Due to this trend in single devices being used in many different input configurations, a "fully functional" UI design will need to address the needs of multiple input configurations. In this work, clashing concerns are described for the primary input sources for computers and suggests methodologies and techniques for designing a single UI that is reasonable for all of the input configurations.

DescriptionFresh15 is an iOS application geared towards helping college students eat healthier. This is based on a user's preferences of price range, food restrictions, and favorite ingredients. Our application also considers the fact that students may have to order their ingredients online since they don't have access to transportation.

Description
In response to the lasting negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on driver’s education and road safety, this thesis is intended to create an iOS application that recognizes and reports on poor driving habits. The end user opens the application to start a trip, the application records GPS data and information from APIs containing environmental information in a consistent, synchronized manner, patterns in said data are analyzed by the application to flag events representing different issues when driving, and when the user presses a button to end the trip, a report of the events is presented.
The project was developed using a complete design process, including a full Research and Development process and detailed design documentation. Separate components of the application were developed in an iterative structure, with GPS information, the data synchronization system, API parsing and recording, data analysis, and feedback all being designed and tested separately. The application ultimately reached late beta status, with target stability and test results being achieved in typical use cases.

Description
For the purpose of exploring alternative uses for Rolplay’s image processing technology, I have developed a scavenger hunt application that utilizes object detection technology. This concept has been chosen out of three different application concepts that have been created during the first semester of the project. The application runs on Android devices and is written in Java. This application contains a camera display window and a button that the user may press to open the list of items. The list will display each item in the list and whether it has been detected from the camera stream. In addition, the list has a refresh button that will generate a new list of items after it is pressed. This is to allow users to either continue searching for items after every item in the current list has been found. or create a new list entirely if they wish to start over. The application will also detect low light status and display a message prompting the user to turn on their flashlight if low light is detected. During the development process, additional modifications have been made according to feedback from users that have tested the app.
