  • GameNight Mobile Application

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    In 2015, the sale of tabletop games by small publishers topped $1 billion in the United States and Canada for the first time.1 In 2017, this total skyrocketed above $1.5 billion.2 In an age where digital screens are often uncomfortably pervasive, people have a growing desire for human contact away from technology. The explosive popularity of tabletop gaming showcases this very clearly. Currently, an average of over 10 tabletop games are being published each day, a staggering number.3 Due to the ever-growing number of choices, it can be very difficult to select a game that everyone will enjoy playing. To address this issue, the GameNight mobile application helps the members of a group select a range of games from their collection by breaking games down into their mechanical components, and then searching for a common interest for the group by looking for a commonly occurring mechanic. The application then suggests games that utilize this mechanic, providing an experience that everyone at the table will enjoy. The application can be used in multiple ways: for example, a user can designate games they already own as being in their collection, or they can designate games they are considering purchasing, using it as a purchasing aid. GameNight saves time and energy that can be better spent getting straight to gaming!

  • Smart Assistant

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    The current Google search tool worked when searching for keywords but cannot answer specific questions well, leaving a void and many confused users. The current solution to this problem was to programmatically put in solutions for common questions, but many still go unanswered. This caused users to put a strain on the website owner’s helpdesk for problems it faces. The Smart Assistant was a powerful QnA bot that provided more accurate search results for to UC-related questions by leveraging Azure’s powerful AI system, tracking users when he/she interacts with the bot and remembering what solutions he/she selects for similar questions by future users. It was built on the Azure Cognitive Services platform and featured language recognition for similarly worded questions, a robust cloud network that can be scaled up/down as needed, and self-learning technology that required little maintenance by administrators

    Description/Abstract:
    “In 2016, Researchers from the University of Illinois left 297 unlabeled USB flash drives around the university campus to see what would happen. 98% of the dropped drives were picked up by staff and students, and at least half were plugged into a computer in order to view the content. For a hacker trying to infect a computer network, those are irresistible odds” (Kaspersky Labs). Plug-and-play (PNP) technologies have become very common in today’s world, but there’s no reliable way to ensure that everything plugged into a computer will play nicely. Operating System Customs (OSC) aims to maintain the “plug-and-play” name by introducing a new layer to ensuring that everything plugged in is verified as 100% safe. This project ensures your computer’s safety as well as your network’s, identifying your external medium and scanning it to verify if a virus/malware was installed without your knowledge. After the scan, it’s either verified to be safe or dangerous and lists off any discovered corrupt files. OSC allows users to operate in a safe network and grant system administrators peace of mind.

  • Phone Calling Improvement Application

    Student Work thumbnail: Phone Calling Improvement Application
    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Many people dread calling up their cell phone company, electric company or any other company with an automated answering system to fix an issue. Currently, the only way to call them is to call and listen through the options before you hear the option you need which is a waste of time. Based on an article on  www.westuc.com, the average consumer can expect to spend around 43 days of their life waiting on hold listening to the automated answering machine. Our Phone Call Enhancement App is a way to make this process easier. The app will have a list of companies and their phone number with department information. Once you select the department the number will open in your phone app ready to be dialed. Once you hit the call button the call will be sent to the specific department of your choice, so you do not have to listen through all the options. Having this application available to users will avoid time wastage waiting when calling companies with automated answering machines.

  • VR Data Center

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Many people envision the cloud as a service that “just works”. What most do not realize though, is that the “cloud” is in fact a co-location center, a building housing a massive datacenter that is willing to provide its resources to companies for an annual cost. Someone needs to maintain these co-location centers, and when searching, recruiters often look for someone with experience. Acquiring enterprise level, hands-on experience for the job can be both quite expensive and hard to come across. VR Datacenter (VDC) plans to fix this. VDC is an application that leverages users’ consumer hardware to simulate an enterprise level environment. VDC aims to allow users to create assets that not only appear physically in the virtual reality environment, but also have functionality tied into a VMWare vSphere server environment. This includes controlling device connectivity, power, rackmount location (RU), readouts from the virtual machines (VMs), etc. VDC plans to better define the breadth of knowledge that an entry level IT administrator possesses.

  • Hullabaloo

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Keeping up with new music and finding similar songs to our favorite tunes is hard. That’s why we developed Hullabaloo! Hullabaloo is an online music scraping web app featuring regular audio player controls like shuffle, skipping, volume, and more. Hullabaloo collects data on popular music from websites like YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud, Reddit, etc. With this data, Hullabaloo will display trending songs. The songs list of the site allows users to browse top songs immediately or a user can further customize the music displayed with sources and playlists. Users are able to add their own sources for Hullabaloo to scrape songs from and then create playlists broken down by genre, artist, mood, length, or popularity. An important feature of Hullabaloo is allowing music tracks from different sources to be added to the same playlists, so a user can listen to a song from Soundcloud, following one from YouTube. With a focus on new and popular music, Hullabaloo updates the songs it displays every couple hours to keep up with the changing landscape of tunes. Hullabaloo is planned to be a cross-platform service, reaching those on Android and iOS mobile devices.

  • Click.Pic.Communicate

    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    The use of a free, web-based tool for speech pathologists has economic and environmental benefits, yet few currently exist. Speech language pathologists often have limited budgets to buy supplies. Sticker books, flash-cards, and “fill in the blank” booklets are the primary items used by professionals. These tools break down, with some even being one-use. The result is that teachers often spend their own time and money creating their own solutions. Our team decided to create a web-based application that mimics the exercises in already existing paper products. Such applications do exist, but the quality apps cost around $70.00 per year. Our project, Click.Pic.Communicate will be free. It will alleviate economic burdens on teachers and speech pathologists while also reducing the waste of paper product.

    Description/Abstract:
    The rise of smart home devices has allowed a cheap alternative to in-home security systems.With the increasing variety of different branded smart home devices such as lights, switches, motion sensors, and IP cameras, issues have become prevalent when trying to get the smart devices to work together. Many smart devices require a user to install a specific app based on the brand of the smart device. When more than one smart device from different brands is being used, this results in many smart device apps with no easy way to manage all smart devices together. Using an open source application called Home Assistant, our product will allow even a non-tech savvy user to easily manage all of their devices within one easy to use application. The user will be able to fill out an online form which will automatically create a Home Assistant instance that is configured precisely to the smart devices they have. This will allow users to quickly and easily set up a cheap in-home security system.

    Description/Abstract:
    Students need reliable places to study. When students are successful with their studies, they do better in class and achieve higher grades. Currently, there is no single solution at the University of Cincinnati to locate and reserve places to study. This is why our team built Book It. We want to put the power back in the hands of students, by providing them with a single solution which gives them access to real time data. The Book It web application solves these problems by delivering a tool that allows students to connect and find quality spaces to study together.
