With the advent of Tablet PC technology, pen based computing has become an interesting paradigm for developing mobile applications. The goal of this course is to give students a solid foundation to pen based computing and developing practical applications on tablet PC¿s. Students will learn how to design usable pen-based applications using solid Human Computer Interaction principles, develop algorithms for sketch recognition, and learn how to implement a project using C# programming language and .net development framework. All students taking the course will be provided with a Tablet PC for development and testing. Projects can be completed as group or individual.
