Individual Research Contributions to Group Project

-

Contribution

  • Researched issues in current AR technology, including hardware limitations, display latency, and user discomfort.
    •  Explored NASA’s methods for reducing motion sickness using ChatGPT, analyzing techniques like frame rate optimization and field-of-view adjustments.
    • Brainstormed improvements for the Atom AR Helmet, ensuring the focus remained on design enhancements rather than business aspects.
    • Refined the proposal to specifically target cybersickness, addressing factors like latency and depth perception inconsistencies.

~As of February 28, 2025~



Contribution
  • Researched alternative technologies to replace MotionCure, exploring solutions that effectively address motion sickness and can be integrated into the Atom AR Helmet.
    • Identified a suitable replacement technology after assessing various options, as the original product’s company was no longer in operation.
    • Formatted the technical report template to ensure consistency and clarity for the team’s documentation.
    • Established project timelines for the report, outlining key deadlines and milestones to keep the team on track.
~As of March 4, 2025~



Contribution
  • Researched methods to effectively integrate EmeTech with the Atom AR Helmet, evaluating different approaches for seamless functionality.
    • Formatted the document and table of contents to align with APA standards, ensuring proper structure and citation.
    • Divided tasks among team members based on their strengths to improve efficiency and workflow.
    • Incorporated previous reader response work into the technical report to strengthen the analysis and background.
    • Chose to integrate EmeTech using electric nodes rather than alternatives like a Bluetooth wrist sensor for better reliability and performance.
~As of March 6, 2025~



Contribution
  • Convert tech report to a script to be able to present
    • Made a rough script based on the tech report and assigned roles to each presenter to talk about.
    • Formatted the presentation slides with notes to guide all presenters in the team.
~As of March 11, 2025~



Contribution
  • Prepared a more thorough script combining teammates script to create smooth flow.
    • Review and edit the script with teammates to refine tone and delivery.
    • Push my teammates as a team leader to get the script ready in time.
    • Set us meetings online and offline to prepare for mock presentation.
~As of March 13, 2025~



Contribution
  • Finalise the script and incorporate it with visual aids in presentation slides.
    • Combine the completed script with the slides for a cohesive presentation.
    • Added pictures with citation to the slides.
    • Reformatted the slides to ensure a fluid flow.
~As of March 16, 2025~



Contribution
  • Touch up on Technical Report.
    • Added in Appendix A for the transcript with Prof Kim.
    • Wrote the base conclusion for the report
    • Added the german study of AR into the report
~As of March 25, 2025~



Contribution
  • Improvement to technical report after feedback session.
    • Edit background to add the connection of report with cybersickness.
    • Added APA 7th Edition citation style to figures in the technical report.
    • Ensured peel format is used for every section of the technical report
~As of March 27, 2025~

Subject: Formal letter of introduction Dear Professor Blackstone, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Jonathan Tay, and I am excited to be part of your Critical thinking and communication class this trimester. I would like to introduce myself and share more about my background, communication skills, and goals for this module. I started out in ITE college central with civil engineering, followed by Singapore Polytechnic again with civil engineering and finally SIT with civil engineering, totaling five years. Over the years, I found a deeper understanding and appreciation for civil engineering and more specifically drafting. I love to draw buildings and watch them take shape from a simple 2d drawing to full sized building that will eventually get built which will be a testament to my hard work. Regarding my communication skills, one of my strengths is my ability to easily talk to others. I enjoy meeting new people and expanding my network, and it really shows during gro...

XYZ Atom is a augmented reality (AR) headset that  features advanced spatial mapping and real-time object recognition. According to XYZ Reality (2025), the XYZ Atom AR headset is packaged into lightweight, ergonomic headsets designed to reduce fatigue even during extended use, using its robust software platform to enable seamless customization and system integration. With high-performance graphics and low-latency interactions, the technology offers an immersive experience, setting a global standard for all AR applications, specifically in smart constructions, where precision, conceptualization, and efficiency are essential. According to XR Today (2023), AR is transforming industries such as education, healthcare, manufacturing, and entertainment by solving complex challenges in ways only AR is capable of. (Summary) To maintain Singapore's position as a global leader in smart construction, the government should subsidize the adoption of the XYZ Reality Atom (AR) heads...

Thoughts of meaningful quotes

  "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." ~Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp Jonathan agrees with the statement as he’s had experience with a group leader that was unable to communicate effectively thus slowing down the rate of progress at which his project could progress. Benjamin agrees with the statement, as he believes communication is key for a team to complete any work. If a team leader does not properly convey what is expected of the team for a project, the members will not be able to work together effectively.
