    • This semester, (not limited to) we will focus on Internet of Thing; Android Emulator will be our main tool (require JAVA skill - eclispe)
    Links here are useful for Android programming: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html, http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
    Some of Android application: http://www.android.com/market/#app=com.wsl.CardioTrainer; http://androidapplications.com/
    However, we do not limit to Android platform. Iphone OS application, WII-based applicaiton, Kinect application, WP7 application AND Sensor Network are also possible.
    The quality of the project is to submit for NSC contest, Microsoft Imagine Cup, and Samart Innovation.
