The capstone project unit provides an opportunity for students to consolidate the knowledge and skills they have acquired in their course and apply them to a substantial ICT project. Students extend their knowledge and skills in the areas of project management and system development through completing professional project documentation and managing the development of the team project using the agile methodology.
These projects have been developed over the course of one semester (formerly two semesters). Students work in teams with an industry client.
If you are interested in being a client in future semesters, please contact Ming.Wong@utas.edu.au

Students create a Native Android App (Kotlin), Native iOS App (Swift), and Cross-Platform App (Flutter) on an assignment theme over the course of 13 weeks. The theme this semester was a live sports stat-tracking application, which is capable of recording actions and scores as they happen during a live match. Students are challenged to employ design principles and consider usability goals in the creation of their apps.

Onnida Hempattawee (Volleyball; Android and iOS)
Yu Wang (AFL; Android)
Xi Chen (AFL; Android)
Giang Nguyen (Soccer; Android and iOS)
Students develop a short movie using procedural animation and texture and lighting effects. Knowledge and skills needed include 3D coordinate systems, 3D transformations, scene graphs, key-frame animation, lighting and shading. The entire animation is programmed using computer graphics techniques applied using the Unity game engine. Since the animation is largely generated through code and not traditional 3D graphics software like Blender or 3DS Max, the outcomes showcase a more technical feat, rather than a purely aesthetic one.
