W H Y I S T H I S S T I L L A P R O B L E M ? • Bob's case is more severe than typical L.I.S. patients • Involuntary eye flutter • Limited-to-no vertical movement • Other solutions focus on communication. Not much on interaction or entertainment.

O U R V I S I O N To help Bob : • Experience Comfort • Enjoy Fun Interaction • Endulge in Pastimes

P R O D U C T A N D K E Y Q U A L I T I E S • MyePlay is an entire application suite as opposed to only having a singular function. • It is custom-tailored for Bob and his case of L.I.S. • Vertical-only controls allow for familiar controls. • Games are multiplayer for interactive fun his with loved ones. • Videos in custom YouTube channel are geared towards Bob's interests.

T H E P E O P L E P R O B L E M • Bob is the "people." • L.I.S. is the "problem." • MyePlay is designed to specifically address Bob and his condition.

T H E P E O P L E P R O B L E M ( C O N T. ) • Bob's case of L.I.S. only allows for vertical eye movement. • MyePlay , and its controls, are designed to work purely vertically.

T H E P E O P L E P R O B L E M ( C O N T. ) • Bob has a hard time interacting with people and accessing entertainment. • MyePlay has multiplayer games for unspoken human interaction, • and easy-access entertainment through a custom YouTube channel.

P O S T- M O R T E M R I S K S Project Risks Missed Risks • Large team • Merge conflicts • Coordinating schedules • Task distribution vs flexibility • Inadequate skills • User Interface Design

P O S T- M O R T E M R E F L E C T I O N What went well? What would we do differently? • Identifying team skills • Define API's in advance • Task distribution • Avoid too many features • Spiral development model � What could be done better? • User interface design • Eye tracking control • More games

L E S S O N S L E A R N E D • Less is more • Resource management • Expect the unexpected

Thank you for your attention, and we hope to see you around! – T H E T E A M AT M Y E P L AY
