The Hex Pistols team built an integrated system of multiple Kinects and Television screens to create a realistic three dimensional panoramic view of a chosen environment that will serve as a augmented reality workspace for the user, won the “Best Computer Science Capstone Project Award” at the CS 189, ECE 189, and ECE 188 Senior Project Presentation Day. Team members: Jerry Peng (lead), Sea Pong, Alex Scarlett, Anthony Narsi, Kevin Sheridan took home the at the June 6th Capstone Senior Project Presentation Event.

Hex Pistol’s team partner was the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab and the project was mentored by JPL Applications Software Engineer, Victor Luo.

The Capstone project gives Computer Science and Computer Engineering students the opportunity to put their education into practice. Students, working in teams, design and engineer innovative software systems using cutting-edge technologies and architectures to tackle problems sponsored by industry leaders. The projects span a wide variety of areas including distributed computing, networking, mobile computing, embedded systems, data mining, and security.
