Description
The Mobile Programming track will focus on topics in three areas:
M-learning (mobile learning): modern learning techniques take advantage of the opportunities offered by mobile technologies; besides mobility, portable devices offer native methods of enabling collaboration and information sharing;
Remote Control: learn how the sensing capabilities of your mobile device (accelerometer, compass, touch screen) can provide the means to control a drone and a robotic arm;
Games and multimedia: put the hardware capabilities of the mobile device to the test and see what it means to create graphical rich applications.
Working on mobile applications (for Android, Windows 8 and BlackBerry OS), students will learn and experiment with features, such as: camera, sensors (movement, light, compass etc.), graphics, text-to-speach, voice commands and many more. Moreover, the students will interact with participants from the other two tracks, gathering ideas for interdisciplinary applications, while working in a diverse and fun social environment.
