Invitation
COMPUTATIONAL MEDIA DESIGN COMPETITION 1998
If you think 'Elmo' is last year's Christmas craze and that 'Geriatric Park' is a movie sequel, then you need to think again. Both are among the 24 separate projects designed by University of Toronto computer science students in a competition aimed at creating user-friendly computing assists for the elderly.
Ten of the 24 projects will be featured in the competition finals taking place from
3:30 to 6:00 pm on Monday May 11, 1998 in
Room 2102,
Sidney Smith Hall, 100 St. George Street.
There is no charge for admission and everyone is invited to see such innovative ideas as a Smart Talking Cane, Electronic Book, Home Health Monitoring System and User-Customizable Golf Club. The student designers of these and other computational devises will be on hand to describe special features and answer questions.
The competition is being sponsored by the Nortel Corporate Design Group through the Nortel Institute for Telecommunications, IBM Canada, the Department of Computer Science and the Knowledge Media Design Institute of the University of Toronto.
